I thought I'd visit Truk, like in the good ol' SH days, being there was always something cool to shoot at. I slipped in from the south, in the " deep pool" and hid there. I sank a mine sweeper and a momi patrol boat. There wasn't much going on there, so I though I'd penetrate deeper into the lagoon. There was a Fuso and 2 Yamatos! I fired my remaining 2 stern fish at the Fuso and everything else at the Yamato at about 5000 yards. At that point I exited the lagoon as fast as possible.
Instead of exiting the same way I came in (there was a sub chaser patroling the entrance to the deep channel) I made a straight line for deep water via a large area of shallow water. I had almost made it, when there were a bunch of explosions and 2 destroyers had materialized outta no where. The screen was twitching (for lack of a better word) really bad and I wasn't moving. As it turned out, I had lodged myself in the middle of the net! I couldn't surface, I couldn't reverse, it was pretty much game over at that point. The USS Drum has a lot of holes in it now.
