Bouge CVE in a convoy!

I managed to sink a British carrier as she left the bay of Gibraltar heading ito the Atlantic. She was shadowed by several destroyers and two large cruisers as part of a task-force.

I set up a firing position heading south and waited for them to approach. Luckily she didn't alter course too much. Running silent I had a destroyer behind me - I was that close!

She was running at 20kts, so didn't have much time - but fired all 4 torps as a salvo set at 2 degrees apart. All 4 hit, and given her speed she ploughed into the sea headfirst. Took no time at all to sink - less than a minute before she vanished!

In the region of 30K tons - my first and only carrier!

Great feeling.

Well Done!!
