2nd mission in a campaign in early 1942. Locked on a Nippon Maru. Firing solution was good per the Attack Map. First three bow shots missed. Two aft shots missed. Then a last gasp bow shot missed. All were at under 1,000 yds. The torpedo did not follow the gyro angle set by the TDC. I gave up on the mission (I was out of torpedoes anyway!). Anyone experienced this phenomenon? When do I get a new boat.

The torpedoes did not run to deep. They missed the target.
