I think I remember a story in a book I read that one Captain of a XXI was shadowing a convoy when he received the surrender order. It was the first patrol for that XXI and rather than going home he decided to show what the XXI could do by infiltrating the convoy undetected and lining up a point blank firing solution on a tanker. At that pointy he disarmed and went home satisfied that he had proved the ship's worth and the skill of his crew.
Anyone else know of that? Or am I retelling a myth?
