Attacked by Gato class sub

[cody6]

Anyone been attacked by a Gato class sub off Charleston harbour mid-1943?I was cruising on the surface when shell splashes appeared off my port bow.Looking with my Zeiss binoculars spotted a US Gato class sub shelling me.Insolent bastard trying to sink my beloved U-181,Alarmmmmm,took a hit on my forward tubes while diving.By the time my experten crew fiixed my tubes he had dived & I lost contact.

Outragous and impolite for diving instead of waiting for your attentions.:88)

I know the feeling some time ago I came across one in rough weather and the fecking son of a bitch blasting his deck gun at me. I took a lot of damage closing in then I gave him four of my best eels three of them slammed into the bitch and set that stinking Gato to the bottom.

I coem across one near the Malacca Straits whilst sailing out of Penang in 44. Didn't get a bead on me though cos the weather was crap. I didn't bother to sink him either cos I was chasing down a convoy.

Gato subs are tough s.o.b.'s. I put an eel in the forward section and it didnt sink for some time. It just stood on it's bow with the stern out of the water, but didnt sink. I surfaced and started blasting away at it with the 8.8cm and after some ~20 shots the "she's going down" message finally appeared.
weird. I dont think that I'll engage them anytime soon, cuz it's summer '43 and the Bay of Biscay is getting crowded.
