this is a narrative and not a criticism.
November 1944. We shoved off from Saipan just after Thanksgiving.
Sailed to the ECS to patrol.
while doing nothing in particular, we picked up a cargo ship being escorted by one DD/DE. we made decent speed and caught up to her from behind, manned the guns and blew her to kingdom-come.
as the escort began to come about, we pumped a few shells into her and bam, she went up like a Roman Candle. unfortunately, approx one second later, SH4 also blew up like a Roman Candle.
so frustrating.
