Notable ships you have sunk?

Zedwardson · 08-29-10, 03:51 PM

What ships of note (famous merchants or Cruisers or better Military) have one of your captains taken to the bottom?

HMS Rodney and HMS Newcastle - Rodney in the counterattack on Norway, the the Newcastle was in a convoy I blundered into.
HMS Hood - Died soon after in my crazy port attack, snuck into Ewe, didn't make it out.

HMS Ramillies - my only notable kill on a attack on a task-force, hit it at 10,000 meters in a stormy night.

Rodney, Revenge and a few Brit fleet carriers. It is so lovely to see a large proud ship wallowing helplessly and know you are responsible for it.

I got Illustrious as she left Gib once. Just happened to be patrolling in the strait of gibraltar when I hear all these warships heading my way. After changing my underwear I took a quick peek with the periscope and was surprised to see that nice fat prize in the perfect position for a shot

Decided to make doubly sure and fired all my forward tubes at her.

Nelson and revenge, both in convoys in 1940 i think.

A Bogue escort carrier on 4th July. One in the eye for Uncle Sam!

A tanker, thinking it was Revenge

Revenge class BB. Only major capital ship I have ever sunk.

Hood, twice, a year ago (real time, not game).... never seen her since.

After all my patrols, I've yet to sink a single BB

Biggest ship I've sunk is a Aux. Cruiser.

HMS Hood followed by HMS Nelson on the same patrol, 22 hours later. Was in a good area for intercepting two passing task forces:

Quote:

4.1.40. 0611 Grid AN 11 Ship sunk! HMS Hood (HMS Hood), 48360 tons. Crew: 1412. Crew lost: 1299
5.1.40. 0419 Grid AN 15 Ship sunk! HMS Nelson (HMS Nelson), 36000 tons. Crew: 1638. Crew lost: 1015

HMS Rodney:

Quote:

14.10.40. 2346 Grid AK 28 Ship sunk! HMS Rodney (HMS Rodney), 36000 tons

For some reason commander stopped adding the crew and cargo details to my patrol logs by the time I found Rodney in a convoy.

Several British battleships, 4-5 Bogue carriers, RMS Queen Elizabeth, RMS Laconia, assorted Troop ships.

You know, the usual stuff.

My own U-Boat. Think about it. The entire world ceases to exist if you and your boat are destroyed. Quite notable if you ask me.

The Renown class battleship, Illustrious class carrier, etc... Those are probably the largest. Other than the Rodney, and another warship whose name escapes me, I don't believe I've seen any named vessels. I should get out more... and sink them.
