"Haruna flooding its magazines."

I did not notice any more main battery fire from Haruna, but the secondary guns continued to fire.

The ship was in Amphib mode and just unloaded an NCB at an undisclosed location. She burned to the waterline and was scuttled. Looks like someone forgot that the smoking lamp was off. D'oh!

Mine (no pun intended) was the Minelayer that was lost to its own mines ..... I'm guessing the CO was so taken with his work that he was driving in a circle while continually looking thru the rearview mirror immensely proud of his work ........



I bet he wasn't paying attention and told his helmsman to be quiet because he was busy chewing a Boot Luey out because a sailor did not have his shirt tucked in!

I wonder if WitpAE is so detailed it has a scenario for stolen strawberries....

Or making keys out of impression molds and using them to raid ship stores...

Cant find the AK Hakunamatata maru in tracker unfortunately, perhaps it's blown up already in my PBEM

I had one where apparently the sub's crew was so inexperienced that the destroyers surprised it on the surface, and put a torpedo into the sub. It was early in the war though.

Maybe it was a cosmic balance deal where it had to be traded across space and time with the Nimitz when it arrived to watch the event!

Is this for real? That's got to be the suckiest OPs report message-ever. Even worse that the Shokuku running aground and sinking that someone else posted...

I've seen this one when picking up the American reinforcements at Bora Bora.

The port level is 0 and I use amphibious TFs to pick up there so I presume mishaps occur loading across the beach.
