Have yet to find the carrier, but I was patrolling off of Scotland and pick up warship contacts dead ahead, coming straight for me. I figured the carrier would be in the mix.
Periscope depth to wait them out, silent running, slip the front escort screen, and in the middle of the escorts - the HMS Nelson! Two eels and down she went. 36K tons. Never bagged a battleship before, even in SH3. It was pretty cool. I couldn't sit and watch the display of her going down as I had to dive as the escorts were a bit pissed off at me.
Escorts hung on to me for a while, but I was eventually able to give them the slip.
Now to find the carrier...
