Sub Passing in the Channel!

Commander Gizmo · 10-23-08, 04:05 AM

On my way back to port via the channel in October '39 I was running decks awash in my VII-B avoiding all the patrols at ahead full when my watch crew cries out, "Submarine spotted!" Not what you usually hear in the channel! This is the first time I've run into another sub risking the dangers with me.

The bad news is that I just evaded an elco and a couple armed trawlers. Since he's got his deck gun manned, I don't think he's planning on diving when he sees 'em. I tried to flag him down, but his watch crew was taking a nap.

Picture has been brightened for viewing. Dang those OLC nights are dark!
