I hit a large merchant in thick fog and crazy rough seas around the Gilbert Islands, so thick I couldn't even see the target (I used the callouts from the sonar guy to determine when to fire). I hit with both torps and the ship sailed on, albeit at a heavily reduced speed. It was another 2 hours before I got a ship sunk message.
