I hit a flat top that was at anchor once (after a photo recon).

I had two fish in the fore tubes and 4 in the back. I lined up the shots with the fore tubes and planned another two out of the stern on my way out.

I fired the first, waited a few moments and fired the second. We started our turn and calculations for the stern shots.

Much to my amazement the first torpedo struck and holy smokes ! The carrier went up in a ball of flames ! Moments later the second (un needed) torpedo struck.

The carrier began to sink but came to rest on the bottom with at least half her hull above water.

Never got credit for it either

Golden BB I guess.
