If that was me, and in deeper water, id have waited tell dark, then surfaced at 4000 meters away and try my hand with that deck gun. :88)

Yes, i am that crazy.. well not normally but thats just something i couldnt leave behind without trying EVERYTHING.

I thought about it.....but there were a couple of Hunter Destroyers snooping about and I had to high tail it out of there....I get nervous when I have only five meters of water beneath my keel.....

I think I would have attracted quite a bit of attention firing that deck gun that close to Lock Ewe.....was tempted though...gotta say.....

Sometimes you just got to let them go. I try to cheer myself up by thinking at least they'll be out of action for a bit.
