Yeah, I had my deck gun and AA gun damaged by DC at about 200 feet - and both the deck gunner and flak gunner got injured - but presumably they were inside the ship at that depth. (Maybe they develop a deep sympathetic bond with their weapons?)
Another time, most of the watch got killed during an aerial attack. Afterwards, anyone else who was sent up to go on watch would be injured/killed.
Needless to say I stopped sending my crew up there.
We sailed home using the periscope, and I offloaded several dead crew.
Interestingly, they still appeared on the base roster, only their pictures were red to indicate they were dead.
It's hard to get out of the navy. |
