If you can, slip into the convoy around the destroyer escort if it has one, otherwise take your shots whenever you want. If it has one or two destroyers as escort, you may be able to eliminate or incapacitate them and as the convoy moves away, surface and make use of your deck gun as well.

After you have fired enough torpedos to satisfy yourself, you'll probably want to run silent and get down under 250 feet or so to avoid any destroyers in the area if you havent killed them.

Well, I am currently Commanding a Los Angeles Class nuclear attack Submarine. USS Greenville SSN-688i. And as you already know, those submarines are not equipped with deck guns because they dont need them due to their formidable ability to engage a target without Surfacing. Should I use the same tactic as you stated in your previous reply to take out an enemy Convoy, or task force???.
