Well, decided to duke it out with a PBY today. Manned the lone machine gun on the conning tower, and decided to pull out the deck gun just because. (Not many flying targets bigger than a PBY, after all)
For my trouble I got a salvo of 3 bombs, all along the starboard side of the boat. Some minor flooding, a little damage, but nothing compared to the 5 guys on deck who bought it - Lost an officer, and a watch-qualified
Oberbootsman!
All of this on Christmas Day no less!
To make it worse a little bit later I got an update on the merchant I had tried to intercept earlier.
