Great shot. High-speed targets are always the harder to hit. BBs having long profiles does not help much when they are close to 20 kts or higher.
I don't know much about being an admiral but all ships in this task force should be able to be cruising faster than 25 or maybe 30 knots. Very stupid of them to be in a speed in which a sub could be screening them.
Burning wrecks are always a pitiful sight, regardless of them being the enemy (sigh...)
