But good advice all around here, thanks so much!!

From all the stuff I've read in the past that is a one in a million shot! No matter how you are plotting the firing solution. WTG! By up the arse do you mean the ship was also moving away from you and you got'em in the tail pipe?!?!?!
I just sank a C3 on patrol the other day at night, in about 7m seas from just under 500m and I was just doing it out of frustration because about three other had got away due to the high seas over the past few days of the patrol. No one was more suprised as I was when I saw the explosions of my two fish hitting the damn boat. Admittedly I used manual targeting followed by corrections from the WO. Hey! I'm still green (and I dont mean seasick).
Baby steps...
