Some time later I spotted a medium-sized merchant. I decided to attack it, and shortly after I spot a search-light behind me. The merchant is partially in-between me and it, so I can't identify the new ship with the UZO, but I assume it's my friend the armed ex-fishing boat again. I decide to give up the attack on the merchant - the water's shallow and a trawler's just not worth scrapping with. I go to flank speed away from there and switch to the map, setting time compression to maximum.

Shortly after I'm dead. It was not my friend the trawler in the fog. It was ein Verdamte Zestörer:damn:!

Remember, kids: Destroyers and trawlers may have the same search-lights, but one's significantly faster and stronger than the other:lol:!
