Exactly right. On my previous patrols, I had sunk nothing but merchants and the occasional destroyer except for one serendipitous encounter with a Japanese light carrier inexplicably escorted by a single destroyer.
As you say though, this was too big to pass up.
I am quite certain sinking a Yamato-class battleship and a fleet carrier in one patrol is not something I will be able duplicate.
