Oh, so THAT is where I left my box!

Dude that almost made me cry...



As for DD evasion - yeah when pinging intervals get faster I know in for ash cans... As soon as they stop I haul ahead in either direction.

But 6 DDs?? That is just tough in determining where the pinging is coming from and from which contact.


I had another funny thing happen to me on my patrol - this time in the Formosa straight. Sighted 2 destroyers at about 9000 yards at medium speed and sounded battle stations in calm sea.

As I'm calculating speed and about to go below decks to map out their course, the gun crew opens fire!!

I must have hit the fire at will key or something, though I don't recall it.

In any event they steamed right towards me and procceeded to keep me under for about 12 hours.

Needless to say my gun crew got a bit trigger happy and needs to be disclipined
