Damn! Those moments are tense. Any info from radio reports? Any early task force reports that might be this guy? Battleships _usually_ travel > 20kts. So get perpendicular and set it for 20kts, then fire four shots with the first one in the center of her, the second at her bow, and the next two a bit ahead of her (like a couple degrees in case she's going 23 or 25). Unless she's doing like 16kts, you should get at least one hit. She is going 'fast' right, according to the SO? Also, while yer fish are in the water, do a quick 90 turn away from her and give her the stern tube. At the very least you should score one hit, maybe cripple her, and have a chance to reload and close her down once her escorts passes.

Let us know how it goes!
