I've never been able to do that. You opponent must be screaming.

Nice job. I had a similar experience (against AI) when the S-45 scored one (solid) hit on the Zuikaku near Lunga. I awarded the skipper the Navy Cross :) .......but took it back a few weeks later when the idiot was nearly sunk in a duel with a BARGE...yes, a barge! :mad:

He's screaming all right!

The Shokaku was last seen being towed away by a DD, too bad I had nothing to finish it off on it's slow trip home. Lets hope Japan damage control helps out :D

I had two different US Subs put a torpedo in the same carrier within a space of two days (the Kaga) in a PBEM game.

She sank later that week

A Fleet boat would get a Navy Cross. To score on a capital ship with an S-("pig") boat deserves the MoH.
