A few days after hostilities have been declared. September 1939. Heavy seas, early morning. Detect, track and try to attack a large merchant. Not good for a periscope attack. Create a solution. 6 knots? OK, maybe... Surface quickly as close as possible (700 meters), one G7a torpedo, hit in the forward hold, right in front of the bridge; port side. Took 25 minutes to flounder and sink. About 6000 tons. Weather getting worse.
