It is a pity that the game doesn't recognise damage - however one thought that I had was that a torpedo exploding under one of the magazines could have been lucky with an older battleship and the other possibility being that it could have disabled it which, in real life could have been a valuable result - in a subsequent patrol, I intercepted a convoy and sunk three ships then fired my last stern torpedo at a "Large Cargo" before diving deep and crawling away from the expected hunt by the escorting warships - 24 hours later the convoy had gone and I am returning to base on the surface when the watch officer spots a ship to the NE - it looks like the same "Large Cargo" now stopped and very low in the water - the wind had dropped and the convoy and escorts had all gone - so I moved in to finish it with the deck gun - something I might not have achieved had it been a battleship!
