I fired a steam torp with magnetic trigger 1m below her keel - saw a beautiful geyser erupt under the bow. Next thing I know, my WO is announcing "torpedo missed"! I had accidentally left the event cam on for this patrol so I had actually watched the eel detonate directly under the merchant. Since when is an explosion under the target a miss?

PS: What's a Town Class? About half of the referrences I find say it's a DD. The other half say it's a CL. And I found one that says it was really a CA that they just called a CL so they could get around treaty limits. (This is only in this post because I found one on the same patrol.)

Why are you using abbreviations??

What are:

- cl
- ca

i do know a dd is a destroyer.

Keep in mind that this forum will be read by people from all over the world.
