MSC Napoli, torpedoed??!!

They told us they had planted explosives to break her up, but to me it looks like a lost U-Boat captain has found a target in the English Channel over 60 years since the end of the war!

He must have had a big fuel supply to maintain a 60 year patrol.

No, it uses no fuel, it has a Nuclear power plant :rotfl: :rotfl:

It was a slow running torpedo :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

he might have to surface and use the deck gun to finish her off as she hasn't sunk yet it seems.

Maybe some of his eels were duds!! How unluckly can you get?

Perhaps it was a circle runner that eventually hit something lol...

Looks like our lost U-Boat Captain made another attempt to sink the Napoli today. I'm suprised the Royal Navy aren't hunting him down. Hopefully he'll sink the damn ship eventually!

Looks more like a BBQ that went bad, damn chicken grease

Now that I look at it again, that smoke's all wrong. Needs a "Better Smoke" mod.
