1939 2nd flotilla

1st patrol passes by port of Dover and decide to get some easy tonnage seeing how it was only guarded by an armed trawler. Went to 12m 3 knots and came about 900m of port(while I was under I did get two sonar conatacts). Put two torps in a medium cargo,1 in another cargo and what i think was a small tanker(there were dozens of ships to choose from). the trawler goes crazy and I watch in amusment.

then he goes above me and starts firing and im thinking WTF? I raised the periscope and look all derictions and see 2 bright white lights in the distance. the trawler is taking damage from what i asumed a german ship so I think what the heck lets try some deck gun practice on the other ships.

I go the surface and shells start flying around me(at that point the trawler was sunk). CRITICAL DAMMAGE!!!! DIVEEEE!!!!

Damage assesment: flooding in the stern torp room/quarters,diesel room,sonar/radio rooms,bow quarters. Conning tower gone,middle to stern of sub takes critical damage. Sonar/radio man injured

FLOODING CRITICAL 15 mins later sub destroyed by flooding. some april fools joke

Was the ship in the distance firing at me and hit the trawler?

p.s. this was my 1st actual patrol in the game 30% realism, also can I start sinking british/allied ships this early?
