The last three posts stepped things up a notch. zigmund--nice work. I have been too lazy to use Cromwell. I will fix that.

[The 33 kt. task force was a huge task force of BBs, etc. coming out of San Bernadino straights, heading south in he Battle of Leyete Gulf. Maybe it was 32.5 kts? There were two rows of capital ships, so many that I did not have time to count. It flew bye. I took at random shot at 8,000+ yds., and an hour later the shot hit a BB. The torpedoe was set at minimum running depth. It did not slow the target, which stayed in formation. I count it as my one lucky shot, and right up there with the time my boat was spotted sneaking into the SE entrance of Truk where I was able to manuever and moor it submerged in a Jap boat slip to escape dds/sub chasers that were dropping depth charges all around.]
