Patrolling area 4 off coast of Japan and along comes another solitary warship at 4 knots. Went to periscope depth along it's path and ID it as another Corvette Kanamura as I waited for it to sail by. Now for sweet revenge.
Fired two shallow torpedoes (set at 5 feet) from rear tubes with a perfect setup at 1400 yards. Watched them (on attack map) travel straight and true until impact. I believe I saw them hit in the event camera. Nothing, duds? Really? Rapidly fired 2 poorly aimed, rear torpedoes as the Kanamura turned and raced toward me as I crashed dived.
propbeanie,
Is there any way you can check out this Kanamura vessel? It appeared to be riding higher than normal in the water and the recognition book says its draft is 6.6 feet, both I question. I'd guess draft should really be 9 to 13 feet for its size. I normally don't have this problem with a "sitting duck" especially twice.
Thanks.
