Amen to that... the FotRS Ultimate Test Bed right now is almost the same way. I've got a new hole in my now-permanently submersible boat from a shore installation gun way across the bay from me. They hit the hull in the dark of the night, oh-2-hundred hour, on the first shot, and the conning tower on the 2nd, as I was turning away from them. "Crash dive!"... - Whooops! gots me a hole in me boat... Makes "life" a bit difficult. Never saw it coming until it got there.
