*alarm* *alarm* abandon beach!!!
.....Regarding bounty dive #1. LT Spectre challenged me to a
bounty dive. Of Course I accepted and had choice of map. I chose
a map in which neither of us had seen. At start of game I was in
2000 feet of water and The Good LT Spectre was in shallow water.
On Ventrilo Voice comms I had heard " Oh Great, shallow water".
Now to an experianced sub driver this is
usually a good locator as far as ctc position goes. I turned by
boat to
90 degrees to bring my starboard Towed array to bear on shallow
water. At Weapons free I fired a UUV with a depth of 100 feet of
water. I then moved at flank to get some distance on it and fired
a second UUV to gain a master contact on the good LT. I had him
dead to rights as far as position goes and Fireed a mark 48.
Shortly after I fired the weapon voice comms lit up again. There
were a couple of expletives folllowed by" I ran my boat
aground and cant move. I am in 5 feet of water and I can walk to
shore" Now he tried everything
he could think of to get his boat loose but nothing worked.
In that shallow water I doubt I could have even got my torpedo to
the LT as it was. Wasn't long after that LT Spectre lost
connection and we called the game.
Threee
lessons to be learned from this mission.
One, Always be aware of your situation. |
||
| Two and this being the most important. Be aware of what you say on vent as this could be a good locator or the enemy | ![]() |
