An Accidental Beautiful Day - an AAR (sort of)

Update:

My second go at the convoy did not fair as well as the first. Burned most of the daylight going around it to get in front. Had to scold my cat Casey as she kept trying to climb my keyboard and hit the fire button too early.

Got detected by the flanking corvette nearest me as I turned to get into position, so I fired another preset full spread at a C2 that was close enough and aligned well enough for impact detonators and dove. Two hit and sent her down, the other two missed.

Underwent a grueling tag team series of DC attacks by the corvette and the remaining "Town" (Clemson). End result, Flak guns gone, conning tower severly damaged, casing damage, flooding at various times in the Aft Torpedo Room, Electric Engines, and Command Room, Hull Integrety down to 82% before I got away.

Captain and crew are unanimous in calling it a day and heading home for repairs.
