Message Proceeds: BdU Happy Christmas to you too!

Paul_IronCoffin · 12-01-08, 05:20 PM

Well... thanks very much.

It's December 1944 and I'm currently over Northern Ireland creeping in at 2kts to my patrol zone of AM68. It's like the M25 here! Every few minutes a warship goes screaming past, and I have three warships following my track. Talk about being in the lions den!

...and there was me looking forwards to a nice comfy retirement in a few months time.

I think someone heard me... two of the trailing warships headed off away, then the one left strangely - and without any involvement of myself - spontaneoulsly sank.

One of my KM colleagues perhaps?

Its all part of that christmas spirit. I'm sure that sunken destroyer crew decided that you'd get sunk by another ship sooner or later and so they scuttled their own boat so they could have and extra rum ration when they get picked up.

Yeah, thanks - now I have 7 DD's swarming around looking for the culprit. Haven't spotted me yet though..

Simple Advice : RUN !!! But very quietly

Good Luck

It's working: reverse course, deep, and 2kts... the DD's are milling about but no pinging so far.
