To continue the predator analogy...while usually lions will cull the young, old, weak, or sick from a herd of whatever they're eating, if they get hungry enough, they'll get braver.

And, imagining things from a decadent human perspective...sometimes that morsel in the middle of all that danger is too big or too tasty to ignore.

Aye, aye Captain! What I wanted to do is adopt the predator tactic when going after targets. My first mistake when coming upon a convoy was to head directly for the big one. Now after studying how animal predators work they lay waiting scoping out the entire situation. And seeking out the easiest prey. I did that last night with some Light Cruisers protected by six DDs. At 7500 yards I decided if I got closer I'd be in the midst of the protection screen, So staying on the fringe I fired 4 torps and hit the lead cruiser. I have NSM 4 mod so she didn't go down right away. I made a 180-deg turn at slow speed after firing and went 200 ft depth to get away from the DDs.

The true nature of a predator is this...
