i once had a recon mission of a random battleship force photoshoot at Koror in the palau islands....im glad i saved before i went in, because with the fog/overcast/rain/**** visibility i plowed head on into a sub net at 9 knots....which promptly did around 90% damage and killed around half of my crew as well as me becoming stuck on it, which when i tried to go back 1/3 the rest of the death blow was delivered and that career "ended".....

so....i loaded the save file and ended up running into the fence again, but i visually spotted it from the bridge just in time to avoid a collision. From there i paralleled it @ decks awash until i found an opening and proceeded into the harbor (the whole time i was laying markings on the nav map to "draw" out the approximate location of the thing.

funny part was, once i got inside the net i forgot i was still decks awash and proceeded to creep into visibility range of a fuso battleship that promptly saw my conning tower and blasted my sub to kingdom come!.....

suffice it to say, i always am perticularly cautious now when given photo recon missions or just straying into harbors.
