Pucker'd me RIGHT up.

Running some practice runs using the O'Kane method, everything is going great and you guys are a WEALTH of information.

So here I am, all set-up on my 90 degree track to the targets coarse, range is around 3000-3500yd or so and I'm putzing along at 1/3 at periscope and silent running. Too easy ... enemy speed 5kts, heading about 182.

Scope up every 3min to verify my track on him ... all is good.

He crosses the line and i hit the plunger 4 times (shooting to see if where I aim is where they hit)

Torp 1 - 1st mast, 2 - bridge 3 - funnel 4 - 2nd mast.

All torps away, some three minutes later or so, 1 hits where aimed, so does 2 and 4 .... but I noticed there was nothing from 3. I thought dud ... but ...

I goto the attack map and there's this green pecker running circles over my head. Thank GOD I was at periscope depth, I had them set to run around 15ft (enemy keel was 24ft or so.)

So my only question is, no crew member alerted me, and I was non-the-wiser till i checked the attack map. This normal?

TMO 2.5 is amazing.

Cheers and Happy Holidays from Afghanistan!
