I play with no plot showing, so I could never see a DD sneaking up behind that way.

I only say that to point out that you should watch some old WWII movies. You'll see that every time the captain puts the 'scope up, the first thing he does is a 360-degree sweep, just to make sure.

Do that every time and you'll always know who's there.

Ashes to ashes........ehm, I don't know the rest.....

Anyway, I salute those brave men who died in the deep,deep waters of the Atlantic.

Let's put our glasses in the air and yell: "HIP, HIP, HURRA!!!" for the crew! Atleast they dyed full of adrenalin. I'm sure those guys would have bben able to go out and push the boat to the surface and still make it to home port in time for supper
