I've done that, Amos.
I remember the bow climbing the swells and then down and then up again. I sipped my coffee, and remember the clang of the old bell and the First Mate calling up, "U-Boat, Captain! 356 degrees, range about two miles!" And then it was all ahead full and the deck guns blazing and the depth charges rolling and the sea, so peaceful before, roiling and boiling and the weather closing down on us so that our old corvette was flung about like a chip as we fought to stay afloat on the North Atlantic in winter.
