In all my careers, I haven't been involved in any warship engagements - other than escorted convoys.

Well - it's finally happening. I've ran smack dab into the Battle of the Philippine Sea - and I've already been spotted.

I'm currently at 450ft below the surface, sneaking by destroyers.

It looks like I'll be forced to launch with no visual contact.

I couldn't manage to approach from the front like I wanted to (big guns started lobbing 16 inchers at me from a few miles out), so as for tactics I'm at a loss.

Any suggestions?
