That was great heh I had A similer experience where I intercepted a convoy and was all hyped up and the first depth charge destroyed my batteries

BATTLE SURFACE!!!

The gun battle lasted 10 seconds.

August 1940. Medium Liner pops up on the hydro at 18kts. Just managed to spin around enough to get one off, which hit slightly aft of the engine room and slowed her down to 16kts. Ok - surface and put a few shells into her, no chance of keeping-up submerged. As the conning tower broached the surface it was all searchlights & shellfire! Fancy them having all those guns!!
