Once, fireing a LUT Torepedo at a fat merchant ship, But I missed it completely and one of the escorts spotted me and was turning for an attack, just as it turned to face me the same torpedo smacks it. Talk about a lucky shot. Was able to sink two merchants after that before another escort came into view and I managed to slip away.
