Congratulations on a text book kill
I too also sank a BB last night,the Rodney,mine was a far more scrappy affair,twas april '40 and I blundered into a task force south of the kerwell sub base,fired 3 eel's on the surface at night from about 3K's away,then slowly slipped beneath the waves to the not so safe depth of 110M's,which was all there was
.2 of the eel's hit home which irritated the 9,yes NINE
DD escorts no end,who then proceeded to slowly circle around until they got a ping fix on me,even at silent running with that many ears they were bound to
what happened next was 2 real hours of utter hell as they dropped everthing including the galley sink on me
eventually by slowly twisting and small bursts of speed during hells arrival in a can I managed to avoid death and finally gave them the slip with some light damage!Took ages to finally trace my wounded pray,but I finally caught up with her and dispatched her with a further 2 eels
I dont mind admiting that until I got that 'she's going down' message and heard the crew cheers I was a total nervous wreck,sweating and drinking far more beer that is good for me......and it was utterly FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
