I love that upside-down gunboat pic! :rotfl:

That's why I hate harbor raiding - the ship may not register as sunk. I've wasted many a torpedo in futile harbor raids in SH3 and SH4. I guess I never learned my lesson because as with my first patrol in TMO 1.62 I decided to see what Tokyo had. It was about mid-December 1941 when I decided to have a look. I had USS Triton. When I finally made it to Tokyo there was nothing but some merchants. Not wanting to give myself away to any harbor patrols (a few auxiliary subchasers) I didn't sink any. I was making my way back out of the area when one of those dumb tugboats with depthcharges starts pinging me. I didn't think they had sonar. Well, the aux subchaser gets some buddies and I sleep with the fishes. That was about an hour and half down the tubes!
