I was shelling a passenger/cargo with my aa gun (type iid) not too far from southend when i was attacked by an asw trawler. I was able to finish off the target before the trawler hit me. I immediately dove (i was only in 20m water) to 15m and made several course changes.

Within 20 minutes i was disabled on the bottom & 3 passes after that i was dead.

I didn't go to silent running until 10-12 minutes into it because i'd always heard they had no sonar...

Apparently that's not true. Bummed because i had just gotten my orders to Lorient where i was soon to get into my first type IX.

Now i have to start all over... Grrrr.
