S-Class submarine needed 2 torps

Hello, I found a large convoy headed north, west of Ireland, BE32, speed a whopping 4 knots.
On my 3rd attack I hit an S-Class(854t) down the throat, right where the tube doors are loacated, and the lil' bugger didnt sink. There was some debirs left around the submarine, but no sinking.
On that same attack I was able to put a large merchant(8000t), large cargo(6500t), and with the stern a Flower (950t) under the waves. What was interesting is that the Flower kept pinging even though she was well beneath the waves. Nice touch! Their Sonar operator left the post(or was killed) without turning off Asdic.
Anyway, left the scene for another attack.
4th attack hit the S-class amidships along with another large merchant(8000t). The s class went down very fast.

Weird. The s-class must have closed off the forward torpedo room or else I hit right where the tubes extend from the actual pressure hull.

Total tally for that patrol was 4 Large Merchants(~8000t each), Large Cargo(6500t), Large Tanker(9279t), Flower Class(950t), and the S-Class(854t)

This took place in the evening and morning of Apr.7, 1941. Girds BE32 and AM78
