On the other hand we don't really play Dead Is Dead, no matter how much we claim to the contrary. You want to really play DiD (without actually dying, of course)? Try this: If you die in your campaign, put the game away and don't play it again for a year. You'll be much more careful after that.
The main topic is regarding that specific event's score, not an entire patrol's score. I honestly don't know if a single skipper actually managed to sink 14 ships (10 mice and 4 cats) over a single task force. From what I know about subs and their engaging strategies / playmode I believe this is most unlikely to ever happened by the reasons I stated above.
