I just had to add my favorite little bit about this great method.
My sonar tells me warships were closing in, I take a ping, 3 of em and 1 is a Maya heading right for me!!!!
I drop to periscope depth and set-up the torps. 20 degree offset from the port side, 1000 yards, 90 degrees off his courseline and I'm at zero knots........sit and wait for imminent kill.
He barely crosses my mark and I launch the 1st one, 5 seconds later the next and so on til the 4 are gone. With my rush, the 1st one just missed the bow, the other 3 .......BOOM.....BOOM......BOOM!!!!!.
I go to 1 knot, drop to max depth and wait for the flurry I'm about to encounter, my crew is stellar and after 10 or so hours we are far enuff to just go on with our trip at flank speed then surface.
Mark 1 down for the good guys
