"Announcement for Immediate Dissemination to Front-Line Forces, IJN:

"The American Navy has apparently created a super MSW. One of our subs, today, reported torpedoing an MSW with no less than FIVE torpedoes, all hits with defined water spouts. However, the same vessel steamed away with little fire and smoke noted."

What's up with this??

Oh, and to add another note: I torpedoed the jerk again (that's six), and he's still not sinking. :confused:

We Americans feel for your topedo problems.

Don't forget, the computer lies, sometimes. :D

It is one of the many USN dummy minesweepers they have around the harbour to confuse enemy sub captains. A life size picture of a minesweeper is attached to a pole and stood at various points around the harbour . . . :p
