A bout 2 weeks ago I got pinned down for 3 hours, above and below 600 ft, near the southern end of the Formosa Straights by 6 really peeved DDs. Something about my making the crew of 3 BBs swim home. I quit making hash marks @ around 200, in less than an hour. I was down there for two more hours, taking a constant bombardment. If someone had hollered the obvious for 3 hours, I think the crew would have beat him with a wrench.
As I finally made my escape, I unleashed 4 frustrated sonar stern shots (1 hit, a dud). I wouldn't have hesitated to load up the offender's carcass in tube 10 to appease the crew...
