I knew it was suicide, but I had to try it. If only to see how long it would take to die...

I waited until 02:00 when all was dark and silent. Lowered the scope, surfaced the boat, and manned the deck gun. Surprisingly, I wasn't detected at all when I broached the surface. That changed pretty quickly once I fired the first deck gun round...

The night turned instantly to day when the spotlights flared up. The first few rounds of machinegun fire took out the crew on deck. Then the port batteries opened up and that was it. A puff of smoke from the Revenge, screams of agony from my crew, and that, as they say was the end. Except that none of the crew lived happily ever after...

Of course, I knew that was gonna happen so I saved first. I'll just reload and slink away with my tail between my legs. Maybe next time...
