pic201 Kenl and I met Okdoc on our way in, he had successfully put a torp into our target (in the distance).
pic202 My fish are away, at this point I started taking damage, but not anything vital.
pic203 Kenl banking hard after the drop, DD captain orders hard to starboard.
pic204 We're on the way out as the ship steers with our torps (kenl's 2 fish are together on the left, mine seperated on the right)
pic205 I took these pictures from ACMCAM, so things are not lined up exactly, here we see the ship veer over the path of my torpedo, this picture was taken just a couple of seconds before it blew up.
pic206 Down she goes, too bad there's no assists on ships in the game and Okdoc gets the full credit.
