Couple of days ago - I uttered the slightly modified Gen. Sedwick thingy - "They couldnt hit a VIIB at this dista....."
Running away from a DD on the surface with dusk approaching I was hoping to evade and loose him in the dark. Seeing as it was 15m/s winds and I had him directly astern at 3000+m I figured he didnt have a snowballs chance of actually hitting me - well... I figured wrong and everyone on the bridge died, including me I guess seeing as I was on the bridge at the time. But I did what I normally do, cheated and pretended I had just popped downstairs to... "check the trim" or something such, so I managed to dive away to safety.
