Hit her with a torp just slightly forward of midships, I hit her low I changed the depth setting from the default one. The ship was on fire from bow to midship and dead in the water. I had to stay under for some 5 hr until the DD that was hanging about cleared off, still dead in the water and on fire some 6 hrs later I surfaced but before I did I saved the game twice under different file names just to make sure.

I loaded up one of the them and when I was surfacing I got the msg, Merchant moving away. I click on it on the map and it said it was doing 9knts!

I surfaced and got the gun crew up , the Merchant fire was out and dispite have a LARGE HOLE low in her side, she was speeding away at 9knts..

But it must have had a lot of damage ( default deck gun and ammo no mod ) it only took 4 shots to sink her.

But if I had not fired on it , it would have sailed away doing 9knts as if undamaged !
