I actually pulled through the escorts and sank a carrier doing a night surface, small group though, 2 carriers, around 6 escorts. Rough seas, light fog, let the first escort pass and instead of leaving my flank exposed, I helmed and fell behind following the lead escort at about 2500 yards and was parallel to the carriers, so stern was facing flank. However, the second a torp hit, I turned to run away at 45 degrees and got caught, torps hit home as they opened up...crash dive.
