"You hear 'em getting closer and closer. One exploded within 50 feet of us. Then the boys start giving away their candy and cigarettes - probably won't have anymore use for 'em. Finally the explosions seem to be getting farther away - you feel better then. Sometimes when we'd fire a torpedo at a destroyer and miss they drop a depth charge so we'd think we hit 'em when we'd come up to get pictures of them thru the peroscope [sic] they be there waiting to get us."
