A while ago a series of books aimed at 12-15 year olds was published called "Warpath".
One of the stories was about a DEMS gunner in the Pedastal mission to Malta but at the start of the story his ship is torpedoed while in an Atlantic convoy.
The U-Boat surfaces to finish off what the they think is a crippled merchant ship but the DEMS gunners manage to fire 3 shots at it. 1 misses but 2 hit the conning tower. Sub dives and is depth charged by a Sunderland patrolling the English coast.
Dunno if there is any truth in it or it is complete fabrication but its quite cool none the less.
