Never saw this happen before!!

Hi All,

I was shadowing a merchant ship at night for a while..did measurements. I thought I was on track.

Was on the surface, took a look around and there was the merchant ship right off the port bow. It was just sitting there so I loaded up my deck gun and blasted severel holes in the water line. I thought "this is going to be easy" . The merchant did not fire back a shot, so I kept at it.

To my surprise, the merchant started to move .....in MY direction, full steam.

I could not get away in time, and that dang merchant rammed the hell out of me.

I was so shocked, had never experienced this an any previous SH sims.

I manages to turn away and fired 2 torps from the aft and sunk her.

I could not believe it..tried to take a snap shot and forgot the key combo.
