Longest warship kill

Boris · 04-24-06, 11:32 PM

I had a nice one a few patrols back.

My watch spotted a destroyer at about 7ks away in stormy weather, due to cross my course at at almost exactly 90degrees.

I rushed ahead, went to periscope depth and got as close as I could, which was till a long way away for a dd kill. I stopped about 3.5 km away to make my speed calcs which I double and triple checked.
I then launched an electric torpedo, to make sure there was no noticable wake.
The torp hit dead centre and immediately snapped the poor destroyer in half in a huge explosion.
