Finding capital ships in a task force is rare gem indeed. The only one I found was the Battleship Nelson in Scapa Flow which turned out to be an unfortnate failure in her destruction (7 torpedos got her listing badly, but she didn't break up). I got a radio message of a task force in the AM grids moving at 30kts, and I managed to pick up a faint presence on the hydrophone. After calculating any sort of probability of intercepting them and getting a fast 90 lineup from at least 6k seeemed slim to none.. I was forced to throw down my clipboard and unleash an arsenal of curse words in top form.

Hope to see a TF that I have an actual chance lauching a barrage at. When I hit that Nelson in SF from 800m, she instantly turned her 16in deck guns at my general area an unleashed a volley before she started to list too much for her to obtain any sort of horizontal fire. Let me tell you, although they didn't get near me.. the sheer sound and powerful explosions ontop of the water made think twice about surfacing near any sort of TF.
