I had this one the other day. I was doing pretty good, staying submerged during the day, until I ran into a convoy.

Here I am able to only submerge to 75 feet and trying to manouvere through this thing. Got by the lead escort, but one of the flankers just had to go right by me at about 100 yards. One of the crew farted and he was on me like stink on sh!t.

Needless to say, you don't have a lot of time from DC drop until detonation in 100 feet of water. The ol' Gar is still on the bottom, RIP.
