The position your put in....
If you try and push more then 3 kts, the destroyers will hear you.
If you surface, they'll see you.
Your position to the convoy is such, that you might get a 4,000 to 5,000 yard shot at the side column, but you'll have to contend with the flanking escort detecting you as you attempt it, as your placed right into his active sonar beam.
On top of that you ahve two aircraft buzzing around.
Your options are two.
a.)Take the long shot (good chance they'll miss or be sighted, thereby spoiling the setup)
b.) Turn away from the convoy, wait tell your sure the escorts cannot see you, and hte planes have gone. Surface, and do an end-round and get ahead of them. I suspect you'll be able to attack at around 0, to 0100 easily.
The big fly in the ointment are those planes. Better hope they go away. Fairly hard training misison.
