It happens to the best of us.

first night back on patrol in about a month... about 3 days out of port i ran across a steamer heading northeast through the BF squares.

ID'd it carefully in the dark as the unsinkable passenger/cargo... closed in on it careful to ID the flag.

it was very dark and the flag was hard to see but i did take notice of the armament on her aft deck.

armed ship + in a war zone + darkened = fair game

wrong... showed up on the map as a neutral. I rushed in to ID the flag before it slipped under... but in a massive kaboom the whole thing slipped beneath the waves before i could catch a glimpse.

watch those flags guys.
