During an attack on a convoy I fired two torpedoes at an Empire-type freighter. Didn't need two really as the first torp caused enough damage, but when the second torp hit the ship split in two. The bow section sunk in seconds, but the stern section remained afloat (see pics). I did consider the deck gun to finish it off but thought I might hit the survivors, being the considerate Kaleun I am. With no torps left I headed back to Wilhelmshaven.
