Too much eels on one boat, and a circular at last...

This is why I wish the Firing Officer would say somthing like ...For good ones: Torpedo running straight and normal and for others that are being bad fish somthing like..."Torpedo running not so straight and normal" or why would they call it out anyway. It would at least throw out a bone to chew on. You could then decide to slow or dive, reverse engines,..anything!
All we get is "Torpedo in the water" like the alternitive is "Torpedo in the air sir"

.
Oh Well.
Good Hunting?!

You know for sure that you got 19 detonations at on the ship? Or where they hits with no detonation?

A tanker traveling in ballast can be very hard to sink, but if you truly got 19 contact detonations, it should have gone down ballast or not.

That stynks.

Helluvva story, I'll say that. Most I ever used for a large tanker was 6, but the tanker was docked. Never used more than 4 at sea, usually 3.
I think you may have set an unofficial record.
