HMS Rodney sunk!

rifleman13 · 06-08-08, 06:10 PM

Feb 1940, SW of the Hebrides

Convoy Sighted, heading SE, Loads of Merchants (apporox 20+), and two Warships: HMS Rodney and a Black Swan Frigate.

Wait... one escort... one escort! And HMS Rodney!

Screw the Mechants, to periscope depth! Ahead flank!

Launched a salvo of four torpedoes, set to 7m, fast... Torpedo Los!

One eel exploded prematurely but three confirmed hits.

Took approx. 30 min to sink! Heard my one of my officers confirm the kill.

Sorry for no screenshots, 15 kt winds and the single escort prevented me to do so!

During that patrol warship tonnage exceeded merchant tonnage.

(55366 total (19366 merchant /36000 HMS Rodney)

Keep racking up the tonnage!
