Most ridiculous adventure to date...

[Ultrazen]

So I'm on my way to a patrol route, not far out of port, weather is absolutely horrible, visibility 300m max. I get merchant ship contact, plot an intercept course and toodle on my merry way.

I figure I'm getting close to where this bugger ought to be, I'm usually pretty good at plotting intercepts, but I just can't find this guy....hmmmm, so I hop on the periscope, pan around a bit to see a HUGE freaking monster of a boat appear oh.......about 177m 20 degrees off port.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BACK FULL lol. I unload 2 torpedoes on this behemoth the second I hit 300m, they both hit, yay me right?......nope. Now this motherless english pig dog of a boat is dead in the water as I took out the engine room on the first salvo, no problem, just for good measure I fire off tubes 3 and 4, they are both direct hits....I laugh a hearty laugh, see you at the bottom of the ocean tommy!

NOT so fast.....this crew must have had divine intervention working with their repair crew, somehow they are still afloat, and what's worse, don't even really look that bad off, they are just sitting there thumbing their noses at me. So while I'm waiting on the fore tubes to reload, I figure I'll turn around and give them a taste of what for from my usually bored stern torpedo crew. Another hit! Surely this has got to do it yah?

WARSHIP SPOTTED, DEPTH CHARGES IN THE WATER!!!!!

ruh roh.

"We're taking heavy flooding sir".............

doh

Sometimes you just have to laugh, has anyone ever put 5 hits into a cargo ship and *not* sunk the bugger? A first for me. It was an epic fight with the weather conditions, I was sure at least 3 times that I had downed the filthy rat, only to get donkey punched by a warship....rest in peace maties, sometimes it's just not your day.
