we have been sunk at periscope depth from taking shell fire. especially with FOTRSU.

Really? I've detected gunfire before but never been hit when at periscope depth unless it was a plane doing depth bombing or something. Anyhow, I wouldn't do this in the midst of a convoy in day time. That would be courting disaster. The happening described above was a single ship cruising along all by its lonesome and I was barely moving, so no scope wake. Would have taken him some extra time to sight me in. Had a big sign on the side that said "Sink me, if you can!" Just kidding of course. LOL
