Using TM 1.4.

Time: Oh Dark thrity.

Two enemy DDs, range 4400 yds., Br 315, speed 6 kn.

Visibility: Using Hi Pwr mag. on scope #2 can barely make out their bow wake, cannot ID their class.

USS Triton (SS-201) @ PD, Speed 1 kn. (silent running) scope awash 50%

Condx: Clear skies, no illumination, sea: Beaufort 3

With scope up for 3 min. while making a target speed estimation, notice both DDs change course directly toward me...:hmm:

...down scope, dive to 256'.

DDs reach my vicinity and start dropping crap ... ouch...spend rest of the night looking for wiggle room.
