Looks like a Revenge class - 28000 tons iirc. |
To answer your questions:
Tonnage credited in log: 30,000, Revenge class BB. It was in the middle of a large WSW bound convoy. Intercepted it 600 miles west of Vigo.
Fired a salvo of 4 torpedoes with a gyro angle of 10 degrees and 1.5 degree spread from a range of 750 meters and AOB of 095.
For some reason this sure-shot salvo hit toward the rear of the ship 3 hits, 4th torpedo missed (I believe it went past the stern.)
The Revenge came to a halt and sank within 10 minutes
To escape, I went to 6kts, rudder 0 until reaching 60 meters, then ordered 1 knot and a 20 degree change in heading to starboard.
This maneuver brought me down to 82 meters when boat reached 1 kt.
One escort showed up. It messed about for an hour never getting closer than 3-400 meters. It didn't drop any DCs.
Presently, moved ahead of convoy but lost sound contact. Plan to attack after dark. This formation is rich with high value targets.
