No hard feelings mate. Sometimes the internets do this to people, myself included

I think she may have been of the Captain Class, I was wrong thinking the funnel was swept aft, it was only the 'nub' at the top I guess. I distinctly remember that feature. Regardless of what she was, she kicked hell out of me. I knew I was pushing it at this stage of the war taking on a convoy but I had set up my attack well and lady luck had been on my side all career. What surprised me was the perfect execution of their counter attack; lightning fast with overwhelming firepower coupled with precise accuracy. It was like I had poked 7 sleeping bears with 14 sticks.
Edit: Captain Class armament is rough but not as bad as I originally estimated. Must have been the other escorts dropping cans as well and my mind going to all ahead panic as my boat sprung a billion leaks 
It appears I experienced "the fog of war", er ah, "the haze o' sub-simming"
