carrier

Just had my own carrier victory. I intercepted a task force in AK 25 - based on two radio reports, I had the course and speed basically down. It happened to be perfectly calm seas, so I didn't dare approach close. Instead, I lined up the best possible firing solution I could with my approach starting at 6km, AoB ~ 90. By the time I let them LOS, I had dialed 4.6km into the TDC range. I had sent two fish - both T1 FaT 1s, with pattern activation set to 5km. She was a Bogue class and I sent one at her bow and one amidships, both 1m below keeldepth. I had a full 3 or 4 minutes to turn and dive, silent. Both fish cracked keel, and when the 5 escorts that were with her reacted, I was too far away to find. The Bogue was sniped. Nothing like CLEAN DATA!
