It's Friday night, we should enjoy ourselves, especially if we're just sitting on /k/
Let's play Roll For Your Own U-boat!
How it works:
>Make a post in this thread
>The last three digits of your post will be your U-boat
>Take those three numbers and go to this link:
http://uboat.net/boats/finder.php
>Type the numbers in, this'll give you your boat's history.
>Come back here and post on your original post the fate of your U-boat (copy and paste works better than summing it up, more fun too)
>Revel in the glory or sulk in the shame of your boat's fate
Let's play!

Well, his career it was nothing much extravagant; was active for little more than a year and didn't sunk anything until it was scuttled at the end of the war. But, hey, at least nobody died on it.

Only way to stay sane there, funny enough.
