Stabiz, if you would have ordered "Emergency" ( 9 key ) and then blow balast you would probably have made it up to the surface, bad news in any forward speed. Also if your crew were good enough ( needed battle stations if they were not allready there, not just the damage team) and the bulkheads put at the top of the priority list ( Y key ) they could have had those repaired before the surface and then the pumps ( if you had any left that is ) would be pumping out the rooms that were flooded. Of course when ( if ) you surfaced that DD would be fumeing at the mouth and if your deck gun was still working you could try and give him some lead to chew on. I really did not hear if it was told or not if you only had one or more than one DD. But still you needed to give it the old college try. :hmm:

I had this almost same thing happen to me near "East China Sea" and I surfaced smelling like a rose ( and with a bunch of things tore up beforehand ) as the DD's gave up on me and were about 3 nm to my stern. I put my tail between my legs and hauled A$$ before they woke up.

Anyway whether you could have surfaced or not, that was a very good film.

The Japanese are saving their depth charges, as they figure one of the current bugs will sink his boat for them anyway.

Here is one of Australias Merchants at Port Moresby that wanted to be different. :rotfl:

Burried right in that concrete dock.

Beam thru stern sticking out of pier wall.

Bow sticking out thru pier wall.

Topside different angle.

I've heard of and seen straws sticking through telephone poles after a hurricane but never a ship through a concrete dock. :rotfl:

Found this task force with Yamato on date shown. It was about 190 miles NW of Rabaul and heading NW. A large screen of destroyers plus cruisers, seaplane tenders, other huge battleships. I let go with 5 torpedos at about 750-800 range, and had 2 duds. Three stuck home and she was dead in the water but no apparent damage. The task force continued on and she stayed put. After loading the last torpedos in the stern, I lauched 3 more until she sunk. Funny thing, the sailors on deck were doing calestetics (sp) or some foolish thing like that. Enclosed are some photos. I hope. Still new to posting pics and all to this board. Go get "em
