First thing I'm gonna do back in port...

... is tell the dock yard workers to get rid of my deck gun!

I'm done with it. I won't be tempted to engage merchants that are armed as well in a duel after putting a eel in their side.

I've taken more damage from trying to engage merchants on the surface after a torpedo attack than from a destroyer's depth charges.

I'm in the Med in March '43 and I thought I'd hang on to my gun for a while, but after my last encounter, it's finished. I'd unbolt it and throw it overboard now if I could.

I got 83% HI, a wounded watch officer, flooding, and damaged systems throughout the boat before the passenger/cargo ship went down after putting 2 torpedoes in her on 2 seperate attacks.

Everything is under control/repaired now and am continuing the patrol and in the process of intetrcepting a convoy SE of Malta but deck gun attacks are kaput now unless I confirm the target is unarmed.

Rant over.
