Sunk carrier on the surface.
 
Yes as the topic says I sunk a carrier on the surface at the mouth of tokyo bay.

I was sailing about 164 M SE from tokyo harbor and got a contact. It was not a merchent, it was going between 19 and 20 knots, It had to be a warship.:D I chased it at flank (21 knots in my gato) and was winning. I finaly cought up with it right at the mouth of tokyo bay, I got into fireing position on the surface, but before my torpedos got halfway, they spotted me.:huh:

The torpedos hit 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 no duds, the carrier went up in flames.:p I had no time to admire my kill, only enough time to get away from the fast moveing blips on my radar comeing right at me.:o I got away fast to, I put the sub at the hightst speed it could go. The shore units could start there stuff at any second.

I got away. It was a Taiyo Escort Carrier.:rock: 17,830 tons plus the two merchents I got earlyer.:p For 26,388 tons.:yep: Going back to midway(base)

Do you routinely try to abort merchants in RFB? If so it might be easier to abort them while they still are in dry dock...

I am so going to hell for that
