there is about 20 ships, plus a strong screen of 2 destroyers + 4 aux subChaser

the defensive screen is at every 1500 m encircling the cargo and troop transports, 1 naga light cruiser
see attachement


my torpedoes are mark 10, range 3500. 30Kt

to be in range of cargo (maxed) I would be about 1500 m of the aux subchaser.

oh, and it is 6am. calm sea. the mark 10, will look like arrows...

MOD = TMO most recent


I had the idea of going under...
or to wait and attack when they get out of the bay.
or wait at night, I'll be CO2 since noon...

I cannot outrun them ( 13kt against 17 or 30+ for destroyers.)

the 2 destroyers are at the east.
maybe I could outflank them. to come from the north,
the I will be very far from the open sea.
( does 1 kt make same noise as 3kt.?)

any idea.

all of your ideas are what a captain contemplates.

choose one and execute it to the best of your ability.

if it was me, i would fire at as many ships as i could from as far out as my weapons will allow and then go deep and head to where i think they will head after the fish hit. but that's me.

good luck.
