Its Ai Sub that was attacking the same convoy I was. Started to wonder what´s going on as ships tried to shoot something and I was left all alone to get into good position. Went looking and saw a periscope braking the surface. Flower corvette rammed the AI Uboat and sent DCs but while it rammed the Uboat it got heavy damage and its mas with crowsnest dropped into the water as it started to burn it was still throwing DCs and I was following if they´d get the ai sub and saw that thing pop into the water with DCs. I thought it was hilarious and snapped a photo seen above. Corvette sank minutes later and the Ai sub went on damaging a transport and sinking another corvette that rammed it also. Ai sub was destroyed later by River class DD. While all this was going on I was able to easily take down a Large tanker Liberty Cargo and Med Freighter. All the escorts were aftre the ai sub for the moment behind the convoy and I weas able to slip away unnoticed.

NYGM 2.4 April 1943 NE Rockall falls. One of the great moments in my SHIII career. Second time I spotted an AI Uboote. I saw one in BF something earlier in the war 1941 IIRC (can´t remember) attacking a northbound convoy too.
