I got one for you.


I'm sailing around in the water with clear weather. I went to Periscope depth to look for contacts. (I am heading for Dover) Sonarman picks up a merchant contact at about 330. Long range. So i wait until nightfall. I set the TC to 1024x and get up to go to the bathroom. I spend a bit of time making my way back and find that it is now early morning. I went "screw it" and took a look thru the periscope. Fog. Dead fog. Like cant-see-100-yards-fog. I went decks awash to creep closer in Fog cover. Still only one merchant contact.

All of a sudden.

Destroyer spotted sir. 020. Short Range. Followed by some shell impacts and screaming watch crew. I was on the bridge. I literally ran right into a parked destroyer in Dover. I didnt last a full minute.
