had a similar problem wtih Rabaul photo mission. 1:30am, heavy seas, thunderstorm, rigged for silent running, 2 knots, 100ft below thermal layer.
destroyers not actively pinging, but was dectected from 5075 yards out from my port quarter, he ran in and dropped depth charges right across where i would have been had i not taken evasive action, did a few 90's at flank speed, and hauled a--,
tried several times using several approches, couldn't get in, so i gave up and went home. didnt really matter in the end as that was the seventh mission on that particular patrol, got to Pearl, got a new boat, got new patrol orders and im off again, this time an agent insertion on the Chinese mainland. also have you ever noticed on a photo mission in shallow water the seagulls always know where you are?:rotfl:
