you know i came across some thing just like this last patrol
large convoy escorted by 4 black swans in box formation
strange thing was i first noticed it by seeing fire on the horizon from about 12km out in the early morning (pitch black) so i do a hydrophone check and there it is huge convoy
as for this mysteriously burning covrette on closer inspection her entire super structure was engulfed in flame and her bridge was a burned out shell she was drifting out of control slowly behind the convoy her shell shocked crew still clinging to thier guns in the cold early morning air a shocking sight indeed
none the less our kaleun was hardened against such sights and proceeded with the attack in rapid succession a large tanker,medium cargo and large merchant fell to our fish
as we carried out this attack we noticed the convoy wasnt in perfect formation after all some of the merchies had taken on water and were listing and falling slowly out of formation some even had shell holes blasted in them
we waited for them to fall behind enough so we could pick them off with the deck gun
looked like someone beat us to them
