Friendly Fire
.*.I've just started a new career cause my save got wiped. So I'm patroling around Wake trying to intercept the invasion force 0n the 28th when i contact the enemy Task Force steaming south toward the Marshals, persumably job done. I'm shadowing a Task Force of three of the four stack light cruisers, one cruiser auxillary, two freighters, four destroyers and around four subchasers. I shadow at around 10,000 yards when the group turn toward me. I see signal lamps flashing so I dive, the enemy course will give me a solution, I believe. Three of the subchasers, with searchlights beaming converge on my last surface position and begin a blind depth charge attack. As I close in on the freighters, which I have been ordered to engage after reporting the convoy I see that one of the subchasers has blown up and is sinking. I assume that he has run over another boats pattern. He sinks and I get no credit nor does it appear on the skippers log..I'm wondering if anyone knows wheather subchasers have asdic, as there is no pinging or if anyone has seen a collision or another friendly fire incident.
