I came across my first capital ships in Gwx yesterday as well.
I'd played the game a long time ago but had never came across a Task force but found and installed this mod which rocks btw.
My second patrol, in October 1939, heading along the north coast of Scotland ran into long range visual contact of a British Task force. Lots of Destroyers protecting Nelson, Illustrious (i think), Hood and Rodney. This was my lucky day. I tracked ahead a bit thne got as near as i could aiming one torp at the rear of Rodney, one at rear of Hood and another 2 fired in. Had to avoid the escorts so dived. When i surfaced later there was the Rodney moving 0 kts!
Finished it off and continued my patrol.
Man i love this game
