Yes obviously using another torpedo would work. Clearly I was asking if that was avoidable. Hence my saying:

Anyway, its too bad I don't have a deck gun because I *know* that would finish the ship off. Alas my IIA has only a flak gun. I did try that actually. Came right up along side her and unloaded at least 200 rounds all over the ship. Blew up all cargo on the ship, all the "posts" or whatever else explodes. Even tried just filling the hull with holes near and under the waterline hopin that would help. Nothing, though I'm not surprised I suppose. I've literally waited for a total of almost 12 hours now and the ship is not going down. There are times where one half will literally be covered by water due to waves, but yet it still seems to maintain its current depth.
But yes, you're right I definitely took the engines out when I hit it. I may wait a bit longer since I'm not really wasting anything in doing so. But I guess I'm going to have to just waste a torpedo to finish the job for good. Really sucks as that will only leave me with three. Looks like this will be a light tonnage patrol.
Though I have to say, if this is representing that the crew manage to seal off the flooded area in time, that is pretty neat. But still, the ship is sunk so I should get credit for it.
