I had a landing craft put a shell in me at 5000.
On the other hand I intercepted the TF heading to the Solomons late Aug. of '42. I fired at 6000 yards on a CA and dove to 250 all ahead flank towards the group. The fish missed and the DD's got within 2000 yards of me and stayed on top of my firing position while I went into the TF on a suicide run and took out a Light Cruiser with three hits at 900 yards, Shokaku two hits at 1400 yards. The DD never left their fishing spot.
It's my second CV in 4 patrols.
