Thank you GW Team!
 
This came up behind me doing 20+ knots while I was trying to sneak into
New York Harbor. Made a 90 degree turn to port and waited. Fired one torpedo and BOOM, down she went. 14,000 tons........I finally got one!
Thank You Mods!
:up:
Oh, this was March 1942.

Reinhard Hardegen: "I had assumed that I would find the coast blacked out. There was a war on after all. But ships were sailing with their navigation lights shining brightly. I waited until the ships left New York then I would sail behind them. I waited until they were in forty to fifty metres of water, then I would sink them."

from The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness Naval Battles.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't attack passenger liners, of any nationality, regardless of the year.

You do realize many of them were converted to use as troop transports, making them perfectly valid targets?

Not trying to be a jerk, and I do understand your line of thinking, but I'm just putting myself in the mind of a Kaleun. I doubt they would have let a valuable target like that go.

I do agree, the Brits did use liners early in the war to move children from England to Canada or the States. The U-boat captain that sank the City of Benares was very shocked to see children in the water.:o

Terrible story:cry:. Don't let Hollywood hear it, or they'll distort it to the point of vomiting.

If you by any chance go to NY don't see her come into NY harbour or see her sail out next time your in there sail straight through the harbour and sometimes she strands herself trying to turn and sail straight back out a sitting duck.

No matter what side you are on, unfortunately in war sometimes the innocent pay the ultimate price whether its from a torpedo or a bomb from an aircraft.:cry:

GWX is comming out soon and there will be loads of wonderful ships for killing. As far as the liners are concerned I fire at everything. We are at war and we do not have time to be soft. Sink them all I say :arrgh!:
