I think my most remarkable task force encounter was when I sank a Nelson at night from about 6km away, with magnetic fuse (with steam torps I might add). I fired a four torpedo spread, one of them detonated prematurely about 1km away from the boat, one detonated prematurely in visual range of the task force, yet no reaction from them. the last 2 remaining fish hit the Nelson, one just behind the fore deck, which caused a huge secondary explosion, I guess I hit the ammo bunkers with that, the second eel hit scews and rudder. Needless to say that the escorts couldn't find me, and after the hit in the ammo bunker, the Nelson was going down quickly.
