The Task Force spawned on the navmap and I was right in its path, it was virtually pitch black by the time it came into periscope view, after torpedoing the carrier it was a case of go deep and try and avoid those pesky DDs.
I went to external view when I saw three sonar lines decreasing the distance to my boat as though they'd got rocket engines in them, (they were probably only doing about 30 knots) they knew exactly where to look as well even though I'd turned 90 starboard and was about 3 or 4 hundred yards from my firing point.
I've no idea what type they were, 1 DD is as dangerous as another me thinks, the damned things knew exactly what they were doing, they were coming in to attack from 3 different directions and they were pinging away like madmen just to let me know that it was Goodnight Vienna time.
I've not seen that type of behaviour from the DDs before, it was probably my bad luck for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
