Well I was on a patrol in the East China Sea when I spotted a nice juicy convoy of twelve ships escorted by a Minesweeper and a Destroyer. Problem was I had only 210 feet of water underneath me and the sea was as smooth as a baby's skin. If I had me some of the electric torps I would have risked an attack on the Destroyer as the Minesweeper didn't have any depth charges on her but as it was still 1942 I had the Mark 14's and decided it wasn't worth it. I was able to send a contact report before I got out of dodge though.
