Longest evasion ???

Hi All,

Last night I was sailing on southerly heading and was half-way between Takoradi and St Helena, for an eventual patrol in GR91 off the Cape of Good Hope (I hope! - excuse the pun!).

An A&B destroyer pinpointed me, and despite submerging to 200m on "eins knotten" and silent running, I couldn't shake him off. After 3 hrs, it was 1AM and I need to get some sleep. Of course I couldn't risk an underwater save, so decided to leave the game running overnight at 8 times speed. Well, at 7am this morning, Im up out of bed and down to the PC to discover the A&B still hasn't given up, but at least she had run out of depth-charges!

In my frustration to get a save so I could bugger off to work, I went to periscope depth at flank speed and fired off a TII at magnetic pistol from the stern torpedo, and voila......the A&B and her crew are taken unto their Makers bosum! I guess sometimes attack is the best form of defense. Now to raid St. Helena....

All in all, my evasion attempt totals 9hrs - most of which I was fast asleep

. Lets hear your longest evasion stories here.

Regards,
Dud
