"Single contact... Merchant... Moving fast... Closing"

Moving fast ? I thought to myself. Curious ...a few quick calculations left 30 degree rudder make course 320 all ahead full !

The orders were rang up and executed after a small period of time we had closed the distance to the contact. We made a note that the contact appeared to be alone as we had not picked up addittional contacts Not quite what we expected.

Up scope.. a quick scan and there it was A lone 'huge euro liner' with the japaneese flag

Long story short we sunk her.

This was late in the war June of 43 I belive.
