I think I made the convoy mad.

So, it's the summer of 41, and off the west coast of Africa, I get a radio report of a convoy, and head towards it. I make contact, and see a large convoy, with FOUR escorts, three Black Swans and a Flower class. I start to make a night surface attack, when the lead Black Swan some how spots me and begins to fire, along with every other idiot with a gun. I dive and go deep to get away and try again. However, I decide to be MORE AGGRESSIVE and I turn towards the convoy, which for some reason changed course towards me, put on flank and head for PD. I pop up my scope, fire off a hasty four torpedo spread at the convoy, and fire a snap stern shot at the Black Swan that is by now, shooting at my periscope. I again ring up flank and go deep when...BAM, the Black Swan is blown in half and goes under in less than a minute. I rig for silent running, chaos erupts in the convoy as a small tanker is hit twice, and an ore carrier is hit once. I evade the remaining escorts and break contact.

Here's where it gets fun, I plot a new intercept course, in the meantime the tanker goes down, and the ore carrier is listing and drops out of formation, I maintain contact with the convoy, and the next night go for another surface attack....except now the convoy has EIGHT escorts, six Black Swans and two Flowers. I made someone mad it seems.

I slinked back off into the night like a chicken.
