Too much eels on one boat, and a circular at last...

A while back I was taking a risk and attacking a task force in calm weather and fairly shallow water. I fired 6 hastily aimed shots at a kongo. One hit an escorting light cruiser, one was a dud, and 3 were solid hits that left the kongo dead in the water. The other appeared to be a miss.

While trying to evade a DD that got on top of me much faster than I anticipated, there was a massive explosion that split the Destroyer in half. Turns out the "miss" was a circular that was swimmingly along above me when the destroyer was making a run.

Sometimes circulars are useful. Most of the time, they suck.

*EDIT* Still lost the sub that patrol. I'd managed to slink away from the main group and was turning on a little TC when a trailing escort I'd not noticed came back towards the task force and happened to run my butt over with depth charges.
