I got lucky and was practically run over by a large task force, including 2 Fuso's and a couple of carriers. Of course one's sub only carries so many tubes, and these guys were hauling ass (20 knots). So it was only possible to shoot at one or two targets, tops, no chance to use the stern tubes as well. I went for the largest target: one of the Fusos, giving it all 6 forward fish.
Four out of six bounced off harmlessly. The remaining two went off, and she went down like a wet sack of laundry. I guess I got lucky. I fully expected to have to do another end-around and shoot again.

I sunk a Kongo last night with one hit...that was a first. It hit under front turrent, but I've never sunk a Kongo with less than 4. Strange, the next Kongo took 8, but a few end arounds.
