While doing an AM sound check a merchant was determined to be approching from a very consiterate bearing. It required almost no adjustment to intercept, and afterwards a heading of 195 was laid in to bring tube six to bear. A remarkably accurate soultion was input to the TDC, and our boom-stick went boom as it should. This is where the Limey scum stopped being cooperative. Slowed to 3Kts, devloped a pronounced problem keeping her bow up, but kept right on chugging. After admiring Her tenacity and resolve for three and a half hours it was decide to close to 200m, surface and render a Final Salute with our 20mm. This was a brilliant, but flawed decision for as soon as we blew her boilers, reports of damage came in from all over the boat. We had, in our eagerness, closed to within 50m. All compartments except for the forward torpedo room were damaged and flooding. Withe Her Dying Breath She almost got us.
I LOVE GWX2.0!!!!!

Tell me about it! Sounds like the same one I met in BE 61. Used up 6 torps and still nothing! Had to wait 24 hours to let the weather easeup so that I could turn the burning hulk into Swiss cheese with my 88.
