Ships you have never hit

[RConch]

Aside from some classes of escorts, I have never hit a carrier or an ocean liner.
I finally got an ammunition ship off the bucket list.:rock:

...the one that got away!
north of scotland, i have the feeling it was alone - but i doubt it.
i was coming home with no eels - all expended :cry:
and in the starry night out she came all alone, bobbing along. i turned to ninety degrees and crept away untill out of sight. no idea about escorts or anything - she was just there - thats it. just there, like a great dark ghost....

...the frustration.....!

@RConch:

Go to ED98 and wait.
Many big 24,400 GRT ocean liners heading to Port of Spain
Many large tankers outbound

Fired a total of 7 eels at the Nelson over the course of 2 attacks recently - only 1 of them actually made the distance to her and even that one missed, all the others blew up enroute. :damn:

[Gargamel]

Sad to say, I myself am not on that list.

I would 'like' to encounter a Q ship someday.

[andwii]

havnt killed one of those ship service things, saw one once.

[Raptor]

There's always a French Small Depot ship parked in AN84 at the intersection of AN81/82/84/86 before the war begins. It is 6,250 GRT but it's not an easy kill. You'll need 2 or 3 eels to sink it. Beware, it is armed and will shoot back.

Two Fiji class cruisers with light escort. I took a shot at each of them and scored hits, but one hole apiece wasn't enough. Wasted a good number of fish on those buggers when they jinked away. The group was moving too fast for me to pursue and I had to give up.

It was an exciting encounter, though. My first task force intercept. :yep:

[BossMark]

HMS Hood is one that defiantly have not sunk

[VONHARRIS]

I have yet to sink : a Prince of Wales class battleship and a London class heavy cruiser.

I am lucky enough so far to have sunk an Essex class fleet carrier , an Illustrious class carrier and the SS Queen Mary liner (83K tons)

I haven't seen or sunk a Queen Mary Liner. Got a torpedo into the Hood once but she shrugged it off and sailed on.

Once I, almost, sank two battleships in one patrol:

I hit the Revenge, moving in the middle of a convoy at 5 knots, with 3 torps and she went down like a rock:

Then towards the end of my patrol (4 torpedoes left) I came across the Rodney under similar conditions (middle of the convoy moving 8 knots):

She went dead in the water, started to settle be the bows and then just floated there. I waited until the rest of the convoy sailed on, rose to periscope depth and waited some more. And waited, and waited. I finally took a stern shot at her with my last torpedo. The torp premed about 100 meters short. I waited around for two days but she just laid there. I was so frustrated that thought of ramming her went through my mind (very briefly).
Finally I sailed home.

David:

Surface next to her in the dead angle of her guns and send her down with your 88mm. It would probably only take a couple of rounds.:yeah:

Think of the bragging rights back a the O-club!:hmmm: All those smart-aleck Kaleuns who brag of successfully duking it out with a destroyer will go crawl off into a corner and sulk.:rotfl2:

[Missing Name]

An Iowa class battlewagon. Now THAT'S a beauty of a ship to sink!

[David I]

Raptor,

I thought about surfacing off her stern and hitting her with my deck gun,
but the thought of her secondary 6" guns gave me pause.:o If I mis-judged
the distance or angle, one hit from one of those babies would put a serious hurt on my boat.:dead:

Also, challenge accepted. Just have to find the buggers!

[Osmium Steele]

Never sank a Gato class boat. Saw one from a distance in the Bay of Biscay.

My thought? That CO is crazy! Any torpdeo boat on the surface is gonna get hammered. Must have an early form of IFF.
