Default Friendly Fire

Tested out historic based special mission in November 1943, based on NAUTILUS's actual 7th war patrol. Fun and challenging patrol without firing a shot, as designed for this boat and special ops. Off Pearl, had two friendly fire incidents, which were interesting. Looks like the PBY called in DD's that were nearby.


Sometimes history somewhat mirrored by the sim by chance as NAUTILUS was hit by friendly fire from DD-500 USS Ringgold on 24 November off Gilberts, putting a 5 inch shell through her conning tower. In this patrol, I was attacked by a PBY, fired on with guns, and then depth charged on and off for 11 hours 200 miles off Pearl Harbor.


Full report here.
