This was so tempting

Weather: clear
Sea state: dead flat
KM Grid: BF 15

I am checking the charts, when the bridge watch alerts-ship sighted. Rush to the bridge and at an almost perfect 90 degrees and approx 15,000m are two perfectly fat large tankers going 9 knots.
Except they were twinkling like a christmas window in a Berlin shop. Both of them on course to the St. George Channel with their percious oil for England.
I decide to give the boys some practice and begin moving to starboard until at 5,000m with them at 30 degrees, I go decks awash.
Come in totally unnoticed to 2,000m, resist that urge to fire and break off to port at 1800m into the dark.
They never knew I was there.
20,000GRT off to England safe and sound.
