All we get is "Torpedo in the water" like the alternitive is "Torpedo in the air sir".
Oh Well.
Good Hunting?!

Got back to pearl and fixed the boat. Got the victory cross too..

Not happy with BuOrd at the moment.

A tanker traveling in ballast can be very hard to sink, but if you truly got 19 contact detonations, it should have gone down ballast or not.

That stynks.

Mate, the first 6 seen submerged, the remaining 13 topside. No they were 100% detonations... I think I picked my circular back at base. I was picking eels from pearl when I skipped one and chose the next one over it

I think you may have set an unofficial record.

I have a save file with replay. Dont know how to post here or where it is located though...

How the heck did you survive a torpedo hit!?!

Dont know mate, the best guess is that the forward portion got hit, sparing the batteries, the engines, and the rear dive planes... We sailed straight ahead surface all the way back to pearl..

Sometimes duds are a good thing.

Interesting though. All were Mk14s (old grandpa).. For an Mk18, I'd double check the rudder and the fuse. I wish we had the SH5 luxury of moving about the boat. Would've been nice too with them fleet boats.

Indeed. Lucky YOU.
