Thanks! Now there's an interesting suggestion!
And it works, too! (well, it would, coming from one of the Masters...)
Maybe I read the manual
too much?
p.49 (about attached trigger properties):
- Apply Trigger To: Options in the list include ALL and any controllable platform in the mission. When a specific controllable platform is selected in this drop-down, this trigger is only generated in the game if the player selects that platform to command.
I had read this as to imply the trigger should be attached to the killer rather than the killee, but OK: come to think of it, "Apply to" is not the same as "Attach to"...
However, it also says (my emphasis):- Kill: tests for the attached platform damaging a specified object within the constraints of the criteria found on later pages.
so, not "the attached platform being damaged by...". Oh well...
(Or may be the car carrier "damages" the Akula along the lines of "I'm sorry, guys, for running in front of your torpedo and blowing it up" ? )
Anyhow, problem solved, and fast, too! 
Thanks again!
