Probably covered before but using RuB on a brand new career I decided to make a pass through Scapa Flow to save some time, seas were rough and I went to periscope depth for the passing. Of course sonarman picked up several warships contacts off in the distance. I would make an attempt to close on them while submerged to get a scope on them and see what type exactly they were. (With the hopes of maybe catching a Battleship and getting some eels off at it) Everytime I ID'ed one (3 were destroyers and 1 was an armed trawler) they simply sank! Showed up on the map as a sunk ship and no more sound from them on the hydrophones! I did not actually sail over their graves but I never fired a single torpedo. I did NOT get credit for the kills of course.

Rough seas bringing them down? 4 ships in 2 hours? May just be some kind of bug.
