As I'd said, I was rather startled to stumble across other U-boats, especially spotting the one U-boat first, and only afterwards spotting smoke on the horizon.
It was very early in the morning when my watch first called out 'Submarine spotted!". I'd locked them up in the UZO and was stunned to see their flak cannon firing. It was only then that I looked around and then spotted the convoy itself.
These first three are of the one sub, first portside, then starboard, then from the target aspect:

Looking around (gotta love external view, even if it is a renown-hog. ;) ) I then spotted the second one. It, too, was firing and, like the first one, scoring hits and doing damage:

Back to the closer of the two again:

This one is one of the ones I sunk via deck gun. Just thought it was a vivid image:

It looked as if one of the U-boats had sustained damage either during this engagement, or prior. I've marked where the damage appears, and it was riding low in the stern too:

Several hours after sinking the last of the convoy I got this update:

I was tempted to join them.
