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.
Very similar to where and how I got it. Those whale factory ships are some juicy targets
