[Majestik 909]

0840 hours - flank speed - closing to under 2,000 metexplosion torpedo depth on all fore tubes to 3.2 meters - 5 degrees right rudder - recheck masthead height to confmetersirm range to primary target - closing at 210 meters per minute

0845 hours - range now less than 1,000 meters - down periscope - my plan is to attack the far lead tanker with bow tubes and attack near lead freighter with stern tubes - 500 meters

0847 hours - freighter passes overhead - up periscope - 2 degree spread - fire 2 torpedoes and swing scope around to 180 degrees - stern torpedoes set to depth of 2.2 meters - fire one torpedo - decrease speed to 1/3 to avoid collision

0848 hours - torpedoes impact far lead tanker - huge explosion visible - foremost shears off - rapid settling by the stern - seconds later, the near lead freighter explodes violently - breaks in two - sinks rapidly - lifeboats away

0850 hours - 35 degrees left rudder increase turns to flank - remaining ships change course as if to attempt rescue - converted liner is 45 degrees off our port bow - calculate course, range and speed -fire one torpedo from bow tube #4 at 517 meters - frantic reloading taking place
