Wolfpack!! I experienced one of those during a Wolves at War patrol. I spotted a convoy with the standard destroyer ahead and two Swans/Flowers on the rear edges of the convoy. I also noticed that the Flower Corvette was on fire, and two merchants were extra smoking?
So I think "Oh, neat, it's the wolfpack mod, they add in some extra damage and you pretend that there's a wolfpack, how cool!"
I take a run at the convoy, sink a few ships, then drop to 40m and start to sneak away to the tail of the convoy. As I'm moving slowly under the them all my sonar guy announces he's heard a new warship ahead and short range. I think about it and wonder how the heck the outside escorts got INTO the convoy and ahead of me so quickly. So I drop to 80m and on a whim pop up my observation periscope to try to see the lower hull of the ship as it passed.
As I look up I think there must be some problem, I'm looking at myself!? Than I realize that no, that's actually another u-boot here with me, a real u-boot!!!

I was sooo psyched.
Not quite as exciting an encounter as Keelbusters, but still pretty damn cool seeing another u-boot in the depths with me.
