I found one of these last night. It was all by itself; no escorts. Once I got out ahead of it (took a while, since it was going about 17 knots), I took my position and fired a single torpedo. My plan was to hit it once, then finish it off with my deck gun since it was defenseless anyway. Well, that torpedo hit right under the bridge, and the ship exploded. Must have been carrying ordinance or something. I got the "enemy unit destroyed" message almost instantly.
It was quite a sight!
