I remember that story. The secret cave with the underwater entrance, wasn't it?

If I remember right, you went out, wasted torpedoes, then went back. Torpedoes replaced, batteries fully charged, and co2 completely gone.

I have too Armistead.

I was once struck by my own fish as well. Destroyed the engine room, shafts and propellers. I went no where really really fast.

I came across a set of documents from the last month of the war. If you scroll down to Part V page 103 your going to find a very good report and detailed description of the circling incident with the Tang. I was surprised to read the 300 yard surface firing O'Kane was doing.
