Two IXBs made a picnic out of that convoy.

Back to the original question:
If everything is in a wild, nonuniform zig zag, IMO, the attack is over.
That's something SH3, not GWX, screwed up badly.

^She didn't remain in new york for the entirety of the war, infact only 6 months. She went back into service until she was withdrawn in 1944. Against uboats she could do little but she could keep away surface raiders who had been instructed to only attack drastically inferior shipping.


*edit* eee gad! I'm navy dude! ¬_¬ this is not cool!

no problem. My interest was piqued by your story so I decided to see if I could find more details so I googled the name. It was then I found out the differences between the two stories so I thought it best to let you know.
