Anyone ever ran into one of these in the middle of the night? (pics)

Hello, Ive been lurking on this board for a while and am making my first thread today. Last night I was off the coast of Sydney, Canada hunting the shipping lanes after docking with the Belchin supply boat. The weather was horrid and you couldn't see a damned thing. Shortly after sinking the first cargo vessel the SO picked up a contact that was "stationary" yet "closing" at long range. I ordered the WO out of the break room and onto the deck looking forward to cranking a few fish into some allied tonnage. With the engines running full flank, I watched the contact dissapper...and continued to follow the general direction of the contact. No more than 5 min later I am greeted with the angry sounds of collision and steel grinding (hey it was 2am and I was not expecting this). So I hit back emergency and was amazed to see this monster tearing into my boat.

I hung around till morning to get a few screenies of this iceberg for every one to see...

It wasnt the first time I have seen an iceberg in the game...but never have I seen one with such mass...it was truly shocking.

Hope you enjoy the pics...
