I generally try to get dead in front of the oncoming behemouth, zero the scope and do a 'down-the-throat-shot with the scope zeroed on the target's bow at just under 1000 metres to allow for the eel's arming-distance of 300 metres. On one occasion, I failed to immediately maneuver laterally and the oncoming target actually began plunging down by the bow, hitting me and sank me! If nothing else the 90 degree turn (at 7 knots submerged) sets up the stern tube for a second strike on the slowing battleship.... In the Weserbung scenario, particular attention must be paid to bottom depth in the ambush location to avoid follow-on escorts in the Narvik fjord's shallow waters...
