My hydrophone guy spotted a warship so I dived to PD when suddenly they said they spotted a merchant. The warship wasn't anywhere.
So I pursued the merchant, a M26B. Fired a few torpedo's on it but it wouldn't go down. Then I showed my greenness and surfaced to finish him off with the deckgun.
Little did I know it was armed. And even worse, I suddenly had Clemson destroyed attacking me. Quickly dove to PD and fired my aft torpedo on the Clemson.
Not sure if the torpedo hit him or if we collided but the Clemson destroyer was a goner and I had massive flooding. Stopped it at ~135m and went back up by blowing ballast. Actually by then I discovered the Clemson was sunk

Back to PD and another round of eels for the merchant which finally sunk.

Continued to my designated area and ran into a M38B merchant. This time took some more interest in her. Fired off 1 eel and turned 180 degrees to fire a aft-eel. Down she went.

back on course navigator!!

Ran into another Clemson. Dove to PD and saw her turning into my direction. Fired 1 eel that missed followed by another that struck her hard, the boat rocked a lot. Still not going down and closing fast, another eel, my last front-eel. Blew the nose right off (not visually ) and she went down hard.

With only one eel left I decided to abort the mission and go home to Brest.

11540 tons won't bother me anymore

Am guessing you're playing stock with the Clemson references so early in the war.
Yes he probably collided with your tower and as a result sunk - stock issue.
If your crew spotted a warship its there so you will need to make sure you have a good look around as later in the war you wont last long if you dont see them.
And yes ships do become armed - again a good look thru the scope will show if the have a bow/stern gun mounted.

Least you are having fun which is the main thing
