True but from a realistic standpoint even a shell hit from a 3 or 4 inch gun against a submarine is very bad news indeed and a 5,6,or 8 inch shell would do very serious damage if not fatal damage its hull wold be completely compromised.
A reason why one should pull the plug well away form a task force in clear weather conditions I would avoid getting within 12,000 yds of a task force when fully on the surface in good conditions just to be sure they don't see me.Get a good course plot and observe them for an hour or so if possible then set your self up to be in a good position you will have to run at flank speeds for a few hours if it is a faster force but the extra hours of plotting will help you out and allow you to attack at a better time like a night.Just saying these things as it seems that Anthony might have rushed in a little bit.Don't let the excitement of a task force overwhelm you track them well on radar and take the time to get well ahead for a better attack submarine warfare is about being patient and the art of course plotting can take some time but the rewards are worth it.
