Okay, here's a quick one (adapted from my post elsewhere).
I found HMS Rodney in a convoy into which I'd infiltrated nicely and got lined up perferctly for the kill. Then I started making my mistakes! Fired tubes 1 and 2 at her, but got greedy and fired 3 and 4 at a large merchant. Meantime 1 and 2 hit and Rodney opened up on me (even though I was at periscope depth). I didn't last long!
Presumably I should have given her at least 3 straight away and made myself scarce...
The convoy was off Ireland, heading for Liverpool I'd guess. Early 1940.
