I imagine the US skipper was furious he didn't have the opportunity to open fire!

TBH I didn't notice! I was far too busy keeping in contact with SS Ceramic! What I will say is that the manoeuvres of the American Warship and the baulking by the American vessels were quite incredible and made for some very exciting gameplay. In particular the warship circled and weaved in and out at high speed - it was all very spectacular - I found that when I closed the distance between my boat and the target to about 300 Metres or less the other vessels stopped getting in the way but they were always very close by.

I have no doubt that if one of my torpedoes had missed and hit one of the Americans the warship would have opened fire immediately.
