Encounter with a Trawler

Since getting GWX I don't find a lot of lone ships so after a failed patrol I headed up the channel looking for trouble. We found it in an ASW trawler we decided to attack it on the surface. I set the gas torpedoes to fast and 1m and the electrics to 1m depth and launched everything at 3000 m no hits and she turns towards us to take us on.
I armed the deck gun with warrant officers and open fire at 2000, missing over and over while they light us up with a searchlight and firing wildly.
we take a direct hit to front quarters and the diesel engine room and I have to stop fighting to get damage control going. I put adolf on the flak gun and start raking the trawler with 20mm trying to knock out the searchlight while ordering the 88 to fire at the bridge. I check on the diesel situation and come back up and the trawler had sunk! nice david vs goliath battle.
