While heading to Rockall Bank in my trusty VIIC U-99 at grid AM13 I get jumped by a couple of Swordfish.

I pull the plug and level off at 50 meters while turning 20 degrees to port.

Low and behold I get a strong contact port astern. Go to Peri depth and take a looksee. YIKES !!!

It's an Illustrious Class Carrier all by it's lonesome staying on a steady course.

Come to Papa.

I sit holding my breath and white knuckled with, my finger hovering over thte FIRE button.

At 90 degrees and 800 mtrs I let all 4 eels go.

23,000 tons End of story. Scratch one carrier.

A while later on the surface I spot another Swordfish. Hope he's got plenty of fuel cause, there ain't no place to land out here anymore.

Now off to Rockall Bank.
