Finally Got some Cuties...

[Seminole]

Thats the small homing torps..not things you catch from girls...


I load 2 into the aft tubes...intercepted a convoy....sank 3 with the forward tubes...instead of diving I waited on an approaching escort to narrow the range...I showed him my 'scope aft...

Meanwhile, I had set the cuties for 5 feet depth...changed the manual setting to fire the rear tubes at a direct straightaway 180 degree course..waited ...waited..then the shells started landing around the scope. Figured he was close enough.

I fired 2 and headed for 300 feet..went silent and evaded the escorts.

Never heard a thing..thought I had missed.

After about 10 minutes (just guessing) I was informed of two torpedo impacts. On external camera I saw a large tanker with 2 small holes blown high up on the hull near the engine compartment. Of course not enough damage to sink her.

So then..what is needed to score on escorts with these homing fish? I can't imagine how they missed that escort and ran about for ten minutes looking for something else to home in on.

Guess I should be glad it wasn't me.
