I got him.
This turned into a Moby Dick style chase.
I'll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition's flames before I give him up.

2 and a half days, zero (in reality about 500 meters) visibility the whole way, sprint, submerge, ad nauseum, almost 900 km (AL 9893 to BF 1237) and through 2 course changes I tracked this tanker. He was doing 10 knots so most of the time it was all I could do to keep pace.

Once the waves flattened out I started closing in, the viz was still crap but that's fine, an aircraft or DD would have brought the chase to an end.
3 more eels from 400 yards, all hit. 8 total expended on this ship.We have 2 left. I am going home.
