I got HMS Nelson this evening as a Christmas Present. End of December, 1939. 2 grids north of Ireland, right in the middle of a large convoy. Send her 4 torpedoes from 3km away and all hit. There was only a single escort and it didn't even come after me. I turned and fired my stern torpedo on a whale factory ship and hit it. The sun was about to come up so I just waited a couple of hours. Then I surfaced and saw the whale factory ship motionless and abandoned by the rest of the convoy. Fired one and finished it. The fuel reserve was close to 25%. So I had to return to base at Wilhelmshaven.
