North of Kiska radar picked up DD at 12K yards. Turned to intercept went to PD. Had a perfect setup, 2500 yards broadside. 5 ft set and fired #1. 5 ft set and fired #2 about 7 sec later. I then watched #2 pass #1. Opps, forgot to set #1 to high speed. Anyway #2 ran deep, Grr. The DD saw #1, increased speed and turned to STBD. #1 almost hit the stern, but the DD turned tight enough that #1 ran parallel down the STBD side.



Both of these were daytime attacks.

Well done
