After All This Time Of Playing....

....I finally ran across a Task Force in the open Ocean that was in range....while I still had torpedoes on board that is.

Fact was, I dived and tried to evade....going in the opposite direction. For some reason the Task Force did an unexpected turn and so inadvertently crossed my T at 500 meters and a Revenge Class Battleship was just too much of an opportunity to pass up....especially presented on a platter.

As it was it took me a couple of hours to escape the pounding and allow the escorts to clear the area so I could return and finish off the old girl. The first four ells all hit but she as loath to down.

I recall Captain Henry's words to his son Briny from Herman Wouk's Winds of War: It isn't every day you get to sink a battleship!

Amen to that..
