Eventually the escorts left them behind and I was able to slink in to finish the job with my aft tubes (I usually use aft tubes for this type of work, as I typically under-use my aft tubes and prefer to save my forward torpedoes). First 3 torpedoes were duds, but the 4th was a solid hit and he started listing heavily. While I was reloading, he popped out lifeboats and slowly sank.
Score one for "what the hell, why not" and blind luck.  |
