I'm in grid CG88 in mid 1941. It's nighttime and I'm chasing a convoy. Fired eight torpedoes and scored seven hits, yet only three ships sunk ... but that's a separate yarn.

The convoy was heading due west until I sneaked in and starting causing havoc. After my eels started punching holes in hulls, the convoy swung right around to SSE ... and after I ducked to avoid a passing escort, I came back up to find them in total disarray.

I really can't describe it better than saying the convoy scattered. Ships were pointing in all directions, steaming all over the place. The escorts were all doing their own thing, too. I've never seen anything like it before.

Has anyone else?
