Mark 27 Cutie Malfunction

[merc4ulfate]

My last patrol I had finished my objective and headed to an area North West of Rabaul. My loadout included 6 Mark 27 Cuties. Now I have used them plenty of times before and never had an issue except for the occasional circular runaway.

This time it was awful. Not only did I have a 95% premature detonation or dud rate on my load out but ever one of my 6 Mark 27's came back after me. The first one I simply went down to 250 feet but instead of losing me and going after the intended victim it circled me. I went all ahead flank and steered a course toward the enemy vessel. I went all quite hoping it would then run towards the ship. It came right back towards me and circled.

Every single Mark 27 this time only followed me. Even at dead stop, all quite and at 350 feet with an enemy escort doing 16 knots above me it only came after me.

If I find out that Ensign Johnson was back there sharpening his bayonet and making all the noise to attract them I'm sending his bayonet home to his wife in a box.

My failure rate on this patrol was incredible. Two out of 24 torpedoes actually hit the target and exploded. Everything else was premature detonation, duds and only two misses or they tried to sink me with my own fish.

If I had been a boat commander in WW2 ... I would have been kicking someones ass no matter how many bars or stars he had on his shoulders.




Watch out for the mountains boys!!
