I'm thinking "I know there's a ship numpty, I can see it!" So I carry on shelling the ship. The next thing the WO shouts is that the ship is under attack.It's 1940 I can see that the Merchant is unarmed. Just as I'm thinking about throwing the WO overboard, shells start exploding all around. I look in the direction that they are coming from and see a destroyer hurtling towards me, shooting all cannons.
30 seconds later and I'm dead. 
Now when my crew are using their deck gun, I'm scanning the horizon looking for trouble. |
I did the same Robbo. Surfaced shooting at a merchant WO 'screams ship spotted'...DUH!.....we are shooting at it you, you, you BERNARD! I found out just like you....DD coming to the rescue
I got away though on that first patrol.
