Sure enough she started to flood. Her decks were awash and I foolishly surfaced to gloat on the final demise. Well those boys must have had their wet gear on because the began blowing me to bits with canon fire.

Sure enough we both sunk. Yes, I saved just before the battle but I think I'll let dead be dead and continue with my Battle of the Baltic career for awhile.

yea never a good idea to surface when close unless youre SURE as in report from crew that shes done. I remember reading in CLEAR THE BRIDGE by Richard O Kane that a merchant kept firing her guns as she sank into the Yellow Sea in June 1944 after TANG torpedoed her.
