i was wondering, when you have done your special ops missions, have you ever been jumped, ambushed, or otherwise attacked
while trying to accomplish the mission?
troop insertions and spies going ashore is all fine and dandy, but at those points in shallow water,
i want the unexpected to happen, i want the danger,like in sh1, japanese patrol boat patrolling close to shore, destroyer spotted headed your way by watch crew,
this is where the action and emergency would be, and it would be nice to either get out of dodge fast, fight, or hide, either before the mission is
complete or shortly thereafter.
it should'nt happen all the time, but it should sometimes, they had people watching thier shores too, just like back here,
my mom told me about blackout curtains, and patrols along the coast, either civil defense or actual militery personnel

Personally, I'm a Fyfe/USS Batfish fan. Talk about a cool character with another sub out in the dark, not just one time but three in three nights. He sunk them all, very cool when you matching fire with fire. Definitely one Skipper I would like to meet! That took a large set of kahunas to track three Japanese submarines in total darkness just using the radar that had to be turned off and on repeatedly so the Japanese would not pick up the Batfish. True, thrilling stuff there!!!

Agreed, Batfish really has an interesting story to tell. Although I have to admit that O'Kane's repeated night approaches on a Japanese cruiser (Tang's fourth or fifth patrol I think) on the surface has to be the most insane attack attempt I've ever read about. How in the world could anyone think of such a thing as trying to chase down a cruiser so late in the war when the enemy most certainly had radar capabilities. :doh:
