Well, I think the whole problem was my relying on the info in the recognition manual about the ship's size and draft - if I'd known it was only 2600 tons and so much shallower draft I imagine I would have fired only 1 torp at it and that torp probably would have made short work of it as you say - however, thinking it was as large and deep-drafted as the manual indicated, I followed my usual practice of firing 2-torp salvos, and although I set the 2nd salvo shallower and for impact they still turned out to be too deep at 5 or 6m
I guess I'll know better next time, though it's still disappointing that it's not as big as the book says - it would have been a nice addition to my tonnage totals and vaulted me up a notch or two on the current Ace list that Adm. Doenitz so thoughtfully posts for us back at base
