I just stumbled in a TF of three unsescorted Southampton class cruises off Aberdeen. They were going slow (8 kts) and dumb, without even a zigzag pattern. Too confident for being close home, I guess. I got in the middle of the two columns, without being noticed -- dumb they were, really dumb.
First salvo: 2 eels on the head ship of the column ahead of me, two on the aft one, the aft tube on the cruiser behind me. I get one hit on the first and third, two on the second. Two ship stop still in the water, the third limps away
After a while, one of the two stopped ships capsizes; I finish the other after reloading -- and then off to chase the last one, steaming toward the coast at reduced speed.
I bag the third one at night, after some hours of pursuit.
