caught her about mid channel

coordinates
I estimated that she could be found on a diagonal, from just SE of Portsmouth to bottom right end of carrier patrol line, I used the plotting tools and drew a line, she was almost dead on my estimation

Where she sunk (the grid is labelled degrees North and degrees left, whatever it is labelled in if you go to 7, 49 you will find her, roughly between Lands End and Brest but a bit out to sea)
7 degrees West
49 degrees North
(in the top right of that box)

Dec 14th 1939 Evening (unknown exact time)

she was next to a large merchant convoy, I was under water and let the destroyers detecting me pass over, then I went to peri depth and fired a salvo of four torpedoes, then crash dive and reverse

I didn't use the target computer because I don't know how and when it does seem to work it misses anyway
