After getting into position, the enemy task force comes into view.

Waiting

Open the tubes!

Targets get closer

Fire in the boiler room!

Scraped the bottom! OOPS!

Marked my path and the estimated path of the task force, cleaned up all the arbitrary course marks for this picture. I started at mark 39, them at mark 38.

Returning to Bergen

I must say... Well done, sir!

I have myself only seen a very few task forces, and only once been able to get into firing position on one of them. They are a tough bird to hunt... Congratulations on your BB!

Normally they travel at a good 21 knots so its almost always impossible for one to get ahead of them, but for some reason these guys were only going 15. luckily the weather was good and I could pull out ahead!
