So I was on patrol of Honshu running on the surface at night when radar detected two ships moving fast towards me. I set myself up in what I thought was prefect attack position. I spotted two transports (Huge European Liner and a Large Old) travelling at 17-19 knots. I knew they would pass close in front but it was to close and they spotted me. I was shocked to see them slow down to 4 knots and turn away. At that speed I was able to submerge, reposition and easily sink them both.

I have witnessed this quite a few times from fast groups especially transports. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
