Ships you have never hit

David:

Surface next to her in the dead angle of her guns and send her down with your 88mm. It would probably only take a couple of rounds.

Think of the bragging rights back a the O-club!

All those smart-aleck Kaleuns who brag of successfully duking it out with a destroyer will go crawl off into a corner and sulk.

An Iowa class battlewagon. Now THAT'S a beauty of a ship to sink!

Raptor,

I thought about surfacing off her stern and hitting her with my deck gun,
but the thought of her secondary 6" guns gave me pause.

If I mis-judged
the distance or angle, one hit from one of those babies would put a serious hurt on my boat.

Never sank a Gato class boat. Saw one from a distance in the Bay of Biscay.

My thought? That CO is crazy! Any torpdeo boat on the surface is gonna get hammered. Must have an early form of IFF.
