US Warships

[ddiplock]

I was just flicking through the Museum in SH3 looking at the US ships, and then it occurred to me and I had to ask this question: Has anyone ever seen a US task force or warship travelling in convoy and actually managed to sink it??? :rock:

Do you have a good chance of potentially sinking a big US battleship if u can find a task force off the US coast? :cool:

[Torplexed]

Potentially yes! A good place to hunt should be near the Panama Canal. That's where they gotta go to transfer to the Pacific to fight your Japanese allies. ;) The US also kept some battleships in the Atlantic to help keep on eye on the Tirpitz and for use in Operations Torch and Overlord.

Once i late 1941 i was not far of Iceland in the night and bad weather and i came across a convoy I managed to sink a large merchant and sneak out the back of the convoy then surfaced and spoted a destroyer so i dived to periscope depth and realized that i was in the middle of a US task force with two cruisers of the Brooklyn class and a battleship of the Colorado class (I think but i can't remeber for certain) also numberous destroyers. I had a clear shot at the battleship and tempting as it was i dived and let it go. :damn: (They weren't best pleased about the Ruben James let alone a battleship) .
Also on the east coast of the USA I've often come across a task force with destroyers and a Essex class aircraft carrier after the US join the war.

Had you sank a US ship in the previous day ?
If you sink ANY neutral ship you become an enemy of that country for 24hours

...and a battleship of the Colorado class (I think but i can't remeber for certain)

Since we didn't include the Colorado class in GWX 2.0, the BB you saw was probably either Nevada or Iowa class.:yep: The Colorado, New Mexico, and North Carolina classes from SHIV are around for download though; I don't know if you have those added to your own installation.
