I'll answer for myself - yes!

The intercept point was a bit late (intercept was around 11:18 instead) but location was almost spot on.

Turns out it was a LARGE convoy with... a Queen Elizabeth BB right-smack dab in the middle!

Well, seeing as how it was in the middle, I used it as my aiming point and shot a 4 torpedo salvo at it figuring that even if it missed the BB, it'd hit the plethora of other ships around it.

Good and bad news - it was bad weather, so I could get closer to the convoy than usual without being spotted. Bad news, I loaded the entire sub with TII torps, so I had to inch my way within 5km of them to have a chance.

I fired all 4 and immediately dove to 120m. Good news is I scored two hits with my torps - one on a cargo ship carrying Sherman tanks (which sunk eventually for 1824 tons) and one hit the BB - which, we all know practically shrugged it off.

But, it worked!
