Well, lo and behold, a shat-ton of DDs show up. I'm like, great.

So, I look through my UZO to check bearings and - SHIPS AHOY!!!

Illustrious Fleet Carrier, bearing 347 degrees!

I immediately go to periscope depth, ahead full (they already saw me so I didn't care), set all 6 for impact det (using all Type III Electrics), closed to 3700+m and ripped them all off in rapid succession.

Damned if all 6 didn't hit and detonate. Turns out I only needed about 3 of them as she erupted in spectacular fashion.

Ironically, I got away quite easily...
quite a feat mate! to be detected and hten engage a carrier? however its not a chance you get everyday so i wooulda taken the risk too.. but solid stuff
