I have just this minute hit a tramp steamer in AN16 slightly behind the stack at 4m depth,vessel began to list slightly to the stern but after nearly 2hrs it is no lower in the water,so I fired a second aimed slightly behind the original impact site,steamer has two HUGE holes in its portside,and went down finally stern first,after two well placed shots.
Sank for around 1.600 GRT.And in the past I have nailed much larger ships with a single shot.
Oh well,this is the law of the sea I guess
Oh,I think they were carrying toilet rolls,they are gonna bloody need em for next time I return to AN16.
Thanks for the reply.
