I kept getting minor damage during the U-turn and it wasn't until after my last fish exploded early that it all dawned on me . I never watched my original 3 fish salvo on the Hood...had to drop 'scope to prevent being gunned down. If I had I would have realized that the explosions I heard were not hits on the Hood, but on the net on her west side.

What I find interesting is that there were 3 Tribals and 2 V&Ws anchored at Scapa...and they never once made a move to get underway to hunt me down?? They would turn on search lights, launch star shells and shoot guns if they saw me...but they never raised steam and got underway to kill me? I was in Scapa all night...they had plenty of time to fire off and get underway. The only hunters were 2 V&W's already patrolling, which I killed in self defense .

Made it back to Wilhelmshaven without issue...

Now THAT's what I call "aggressive", . (where's the spell checker? :rotfl: )
