"HINOKI spied the REDFISH's scope and charged with a bone in her teeth. McGregor pulled the plug and went deep as fast as he could. The depth charges followed him down, exploding as the submarine passed 150 feet. Seven of the undersea weapons detonated in a perilously close salvo off the starboard bow, their concussion so great it flung the REDFISH to the left like a toy. The shock waves raised havoc with the submarine. Sonar was knocked out, helm jammed hard left, and the diving planes on rise. Worse, cracks opened leaks in the forward torpedo room, and a sailor was severely injured when a steel door was slammed open against his head, nearly severing an ear. A loaded torpedo in tube No. 8 was activated, the whine of it's spinning prop adding to the din and mayhem. Even so, that was the worst of it. Hitting bottom at 1712 hours just beyond 200 feet, McGregor rigged for silence and waited out the depth-charging for two hours."

It really makes you appreciate that it's just a game. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to have DC's dropped on your head. Or shoot torps that would kill an maim real people.
