quote:

Sub attack near Kangean at 59,106

Japanese Ships
xAK Sydney Maru #2, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage
SC Ch 2

Allied Ships
SS Pickerel, hits 3, heavy damage

Japanese ground losses:
Guns lost 4 (2 destroyed, 2 disabled)

SS Pickerel launches 2 torpedoes at xAK Sydney Maru #2
Pickerel diving deep ....
SC Ch 2 fails to find sub, continues to search...
SC Ch 2 attacking submerged sub ....
SC Ch 2 fails to find sub, continues to search...
SC Ch 2 attacking submerged sub ....
SS Pickerel forced to surface!
xAK Sydney Maru #2 firing on surfaced sub ....
Contact with submarine is lost


One direct hit, one near miss, and a force to surface...and then the xAK sinks her with a sniper shot from the deck gun.

The xAK sank as well.

But in you case, I estimate this scenario to happen at about 0.0001%

Isn't that the truth.

In my head, I'm remembering it as "...and then the Maru rammed us. Can you believe it?! We both went down."

Status: offline 		Yeah sometimes really cool stuff happens. I remember an I-boat of mine forced to surface by a destroyer. It totally went ballistic then and fired torpedos in all directions hiting multiple ships before geting shot to pieces.

Needless to say the sub took heavy damage - but luckily it may have put 2 torpedoes into the carrier.
