Default WOW! Strange encounter!

It`s Nov `39.

On my way to BE31 I intercepted a convoy NE of Ireland heading east. It`s early evening and running silent I slip past the leading destroyer. I fired one torps each at a medium and a big merchant at around 3k metres, and than was going deep.

Two explosions.

While going deeper and being at the hydrophones, I suddenly discovered something I would judge as a sub.

Well, the escorts never found me, so after some time I surfaced, trailing the convoy.

Shortly later the watch called out a sub.

There she was, a S-type sub in the last row of the convoy. I`m no expert, but where subs assigned to convoys? I would have expected a cruiser or a BB at this position, but a sub?

PS.: btw. the medium freighter happily sailed along with the convoy while burning, the big freighter fell behind and was sunk with the gun.
