Default Most fun in a long time with my clothes on

OK not the greatest of story to tell but it really was most fun I had in a long time.

Short version is I finally survived a crossing of the strait of Gilbraltar - no repeated restarts or saves, just heads up dive to about 70 meters and run at night - silent for about 12 hours. Popped up once for air.

Had several near misses from a Black Swan commanded by a telepathic Captain that I swear also used seagulls as asw spotters - btw I still stand firm on premise that the gulls are actually Allied asw drone spotters

In all counted at least 3 DC runs by him and many other single runs from assorted DD and I had on hydrophone screen at one time 9 hunters & those combined with merchant traffic & my screen looked like the spokes on a bicycle....lost count of how many times torpedo boats ran right over the top of me...

But this was fun, I think a highlight was when a convoy showed up and I could not resist the Capt. Dodge (Down Periscope) move and hid underneath a tanker while we went through the narrowest parts of the strait....

Not the drama maybe of some here post but for me a great satisfaction and extremely enjoyable to finally get past that fortress...
