It's a great story. Dry yourself off and get back into the Atlantic. We could use more adventurous commanders and boats like yours out there!
I have tended to go for pistol detonating, and trying to remember to set them shallower for smaller draught targets, but I'm still at the stage of the war when I'm getting duds (or fighting with wooden swords as Prien once famously said in frustration) and don't have homing torps available yet.

Yours, Raoul (the other U-46)
