The battle for Norway just keeps getting better and better.

After sinking the HMS Nelson I proceeded on my original course toward the Trondhjem area where the Allies have landed to try and take Norway back.

After 12 hours & in the dark...Kerblam! I run straight into another British TF following 12 hours behind the preceeding one. It's heading (I suppose) to the Narvik area. I find myself right in lthe middle of about 8 DD's & a couple of Fiji Class ships......***PLUS*** this big-ol-flat topped thing.
It's an Illustrious Class Aircraft carrier & its going to pass right by me.

I am sitting in position at 11m because of the high wave action while these two DD's sail right by infront of me..(300-450M) I guess I was very lucky that it is only 1940 and the ocean was frothing which kept me from being detected.

I sent another salvo of four torpedos at 2100m with a 1 degree spread and 3.5 meters right into the side of that bugger. I shot the first one just forward of center & the other three just sort of hit every 20-30m or so all the way back.
It went down in 6 minutes...

I have sunk 6 ships on this patrol..more then I have ever sunk before...

This battle for Norway starting on 9 April 1940 is really full of action..Well worth doing if you haven't done so already.

Heck, I even have one aft torpedo left for tomorrow...

The only thing that I find a bit distressing is: I have seen more damn British warships in this area then our Whole Navy posesses...I wonder if Herr Hithler has some more hidden away somewhere?

That does not realy sound as if there would be a torpedo crisis.
