""I'm here and you have no idea what I'm up to" is the most intimidating message you can send the enemy. People under pressure make mistakes and there's no better way to put the pressure on. Once you know they detected you maybe it would be even more intimidation if you turned it off for awhile. "Did he submerge? Was it even real? Is my detection equipment faulty?......" (In a perfect world that's when the BOOMs come)"
Yeah this is me here sometimes.
1944. I just ran smack into a huge Task Force. Water depth is 600 feet. They had at least 11 destroyers, 4 battleships, 8 light and heavy cruisers and 8 aircraft carriers of varying classes. The escorts were more towards the rear and I let them have it from 3000 yards. I sank 4 out of the 8 carriers and two destroyers. In the whole 45 minute battle I fired all but 6 fish and only once dove to avoid being struck by a heavy cruiser to a depth of 110 feet then came back up to continue the attack.
1600 sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky. I was bombed by no less than 6 air craft who couldn't hit a thing. 35 minutes into the battle the TF began moving on out of my range and I had to dive to 520 feet to avoid the destroyers who had finally made it over to attack me. Sustained minor flooding and damage that was quickly repaired.
After they left the area I found a freighter and threw three cuties at him two hit but he left and I didnt feel like wasting the other 3 fish or a surface face off.
Headed to Saipan which had just fallen and on my way came across another huge Task Force. They were spread out for miles and there is no way knowing all of the ships. I was at periscope depth all ahead flank and was never heard by any of them they were so spread out. By the time I got into position and allowed one to come towards me I put one out of three fish into another carrier.
Docked at Saipan and very much enjoyed that patrol.
I think I made my presence known and had first spotted them with radar and kept the radar on until they were within 9 nm then I went to periscope depth.
