Get this:

So I'm cruising through the Phillipines in my new command USS Gar, on our second patrol. I make radar contact with a task force at sunset, position myself perfectly, up scope - come to papa - a CV. A big boy, Shokaku. Holy moly. Sweep the scope - wait a minute - there's another carrier - escort type, and smaller, but let's not get greedy. Let's look around a little more: 2 Fleet CVs, 2 CVEs, an AV Kamikawa type, and 2 CAs. I didn't even bother to count the escorts.

So I pull up the torpedo thingy, and guess what - they're all black! I'm carrying a detachment of Marine Recon! I have zero fish.

I think they programmed that junk in on purpose, just to piss me off!:rotfl: That's what I get for allowing myself to be distracted from the mission...

So I surfaced after breaking contact, and radioed their position to COMSUBPAC. Back to sneaky peeky mode. I was thinking - If they radio me and say "Be more aggressive!" I'll scuttle the boat.

Regards,
Mylander
