i snuck into scapa flow today and put 3 torps into the Illustrious.. 5 corvettes converged on my position and i pulled up next to the half sunken carrier and waited out a 6 hour barrage.
What Month and Year?
I tried to sneak in on the 9th and 10th of April 1940.
Was surfaced until about 1130, spotted Armed Trawler Dove to escape. Thought I was in clear, wrong, he pinged me! He dropped a few Cans and I lost him.
More Ships inbound but far off for now, Silent Run for a few hours then surfaced spotted coastal search lights at main entrance to Scapa. Ship Spotted! I stay surfaced and try to avoid it. Wrong! Flower Corvette starts firing, I should have engaged him with my deck gun, but I dove.
He makes several passes and I get sunk just inside the main entrance.
Tell you the truth its the first time Ive been Pinged by Sonar and Depth Charged in my Career (Patrol 7)
I saved it in the open ocean outside of Scapa, but I need to get to bed, its been a very long day.
