I was loitoring near Cadiz when a small merchant came by,I put a torpedo into her(I only had 3 left)which caused an exlplosion and started a fire under the bridge.I didn't want to use another torp so decided to wait and see.The ship sailed on at at a steady 5 knots for about an hour when there was an enormous explosion which engulfed her in flames.As I closed in to inspect the burning wreck I was surprised to see a wall of flame burning in the sea made up of 4 or 5 seperate 'jets'.The ship itself was sailing on at the usual 5 knots behind the 'wall',the crew,obviously excellent fire fighters had put out the on board blaze.I followed using time compression.Every hour or so the process was repeated-explosion,ship ablaze,wall of flame in sea,ship sails on.I torpedoed her again.Huge explosion,masts blown into the air etc.....ship sails on at 5 knots and then back to the old wall of flame routine......after about 8 hours of this I went off to find something easier like the Hood.
