Little typo, it was 1942 
I hit them both with a magnetic torpedo, just about the middle. One sunk a few minutes after, but the other just leaked alot of oil and kept burning. Wouldn't go down though...
I just shook off the defenders (armed trawler without depth-charges, kept pinging me for 2 hours...) and swinging around to finish the last tanker  |
Well, oil does float, so maybe that's what's keeping the second one up.
Seriously, when the SS Ohio made it into Malta in 1942, after being battered to h3ll and then some by bombs and torpedoes, the only thing keeping her afloat was her 10,000-odd tons of fuel oil. As they pumped it out, she slowly sank, until her keel was in the mud.
