Grid BF14 approach to Irish Sea
Approx 19:00
Dark, heavy seas, visibility good
Came upon a single Tribal class DD head on.
Crash dive to 80m, Silent Running directly under DD-no response
secure SR- no response, request nav do multiple pimgs for depth-no response. turn on gramaphone-no response.(??????)
Surfaced, reverse course directly for DD @ 1/3 speed-ship changed course so I figured I got his attention and took the boat down, he began dc'ing an area 2000m away. I ordered surface at full speed, changed course to intercept-
19:17 finally closed to within 1500m DD noticed me and got off 3 - 4 rounds as I crash dived. Using outside view I observed no hits to boat.
Stern compartment again took damage. Immediately went orange. Tube 5 & decoy launcher damaged, compartment flooding. Repair team in compartment at work.
19:22 all repairs completed/flooding stopped/compartment operational.
DD is dc'ing an area 1000m to my NW. Changed depth to 40m/course to 323 heading toward DD. No SR. ahead 1/3. At one point I was running parallel with DD 300m off stbd bow pinging for depth and gramaphone playing-DD has no clue. Increased speed to ahead std and departed area leaving the destroyer behind-good riddance.

Heading to Irish Sea.

1. I'm now convinced the stern compartment is too vulnerable. Shell explosions were clean misses 3 - 10m away from boat.
2. I have either run into the most verklempt destroyer crew on the planet or could there be something amiss in the area of detection. To be honest this is the only time I've run into a situation like this. I did enable the 16km mod for this mission. I do not want to disable it but I may need to if you think something is in conflict. Perhaps this is why I cannot get enemy warships to notice me-however I'm only guessing here.
