She's gone Fallschirmjager. Had to have been a surface attack, and Nagara made her pay!

Hi, I have seen a few surface TF's demonstrate why submarines should not try night surface attacks against warships. I've seen a sub attacking a CA get hit by 8inch shells.

I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a different direction!

Glad I'm not the only one with crazy skippers!! That was the first time I had seen a submarine launch a surface attack against heavy forces.
