I attacked a large TF and missed one of the light cruisers due to it zigging away. By unbelievable luck, one of the heavy cruisers ahead of it zagged back and it hit it in the stern. Apparently, I took out it's rudder as it never changed course or speed again. While the rest of the group continued to zig zag on their regular course, this CA cut through the other 2 lines of ships and continued on it's merry way. I should have watched it until it ran aground some where, but I sent it down to the bottom with another couple of fish.
I thought it was pretty interesting, though, none the less.
