Regardless of the date, going head to head with a task force of that size, in the english channel... is nothing short of suicide.
Put yourself in the boat.. your real flesh and blood self.
As Krauter said.. a real captain would make a contact report.. take some readings, speed, course.. and shadow.
Deeper water, perhaps dark of night, ideal weather.. as a u boat captain stealth IS your weapon, do everything in your power to make the fight on YOUR terms. essentially you are a coward, always picking the unfair fight.. BUT thats just the way it is, your smaller, and less equiped you will never be able to go toe to toe with destroyers.
And with that amount they can sit off you and passively track you while making DC runs on you all day.
Honestly unless I was ordered to kill that carrier as captain of my boat i'd just report the task force to bdu and continue on my way. There is plenty of targets to be had and for alot less trouble.
