Ill try to get to the next chapter tonight. No way till then.

Anyhow thanks again, enjoy.

Are we there yet? Jeez someone give me a clean rag, gotta wipe off my binocs. SteamWake says there's a enemy freighter out there.

Steamwake you are SO GOOD!!! I can't wait for the next chapter! This is a really good story and believable. I'm kinda pulling for Chip.

"Remember Chip" the captain spoke "I want a simultanious detonation. Dont forget the boats are heavily laden so allow for that in your calculations". "YES SIR" the xo barked. Skipper just shook his head and smiled.

:hmm: Fire @ trailing ship first,longest run. Oops! Sorry,your story.

I was not the only one that read thought that...... Was not my story so did not want to say anything but since you did...

Not to worry there is actually a reason for this 'flaw' which will be revealed in the next chapter.

The boat suddenly slogged and slowed. The bow had breached the surface.

Everything was different when the boat was on the surface, it pitched, rolled, yawed forth and back. The sailors feet shifted back and forth trying to keep their balance. It obviously was not a nice day topside.

"Were surfaced sir !" claimed a helmsman. "Very well" skipper responded. "Gordon, Smitty" your on. I have seen you boys in practice. Your good, lets see how you do now." The skipper caught their eyes and smiled. "Wait till I call ya up" skipper quipped. "Chip ?" skipper noted. "YES SIR" the xo replied. Obviously he had not relaxed much. The skipper put his hands out palm down... breathing out a smooth sigh, "Easy skip, we will get through this smelling like a rose. Just wait here till I call you up".

"Yes Sir" the xo replyed. He looked stunned, dismayed. Imagine petty officers on the bridge before him... a commisioned officer.... "Yes sir" he repeated.

The sound of a round singing over the top of the boat with an all to close sound of a cannon round striking water. "Zip, shoooonk, Thump".

Everyone within the sub ducked in reflex. Reality had set in. We are about to go toe to toe with an armed enemy ship. Chip sure had a change of attitude. He looked up at the skip but the Skipper wasent there. He had already started up the ladder.
