This afternoon I was trailing along behind a crippled Large Modern Tanker I'd torpedoed. I looked around and noticed a destroyer coming up on me dead astern...and by dead I mean 1 degree of deflection at the most. He kept closing and closing for almost 5000 yards so I let off a torp at 750 yards figuring he had to be ready for a course change and I was wasting a good round.

Much to my surprise I hit him and he kept right on coming. He passed over me and came to stop a couple of hundred yards ahead. I dove a few feet to make sure I was going to pass under him with no sweat and heard a tremendous blast. SOB blew up right over top of me!!

Talk about a guy trying to even the score........
