The Elco showed up at exactly the wrong time.
Hmmm. Elco. Plywood. I can ram him without damaging my boat.
It was one of the few times I've ever used Flank Speed.
I only brought the gunners up so my watch crew wouldn't get slaughtered.
My 2. Class Gunnersmate hit, and destroyed the thing with his second shot!
He went from being "expendable" to a prized crew member.
Iron Cross 1. Class, and a promotion.

And ja, we got our oxigen and dived before the big boys showed up.

Now I'm crying from laughing, guess he came running up from below decks with his red undershirt on ready for action.
