Fishing Boats?? NOT!!!

May'44 on patrol just SE of the East entrance of La Perouse St. Finding pretty good hunting here. Pick up multiple contacts on radar that turns out to be a small convoy of fishing boats, or so I thought. I dove to periscope depth to avoid detection, and moved in for a closer look. When the range closed, I saw that these "sailed" fishing vessels had radio masts and rigging. I immediately battle surfaced, closed the range and commenced engageing with the DG. I successfully destroyed three of the four, as one slipped away and I wanted to clear the area ASAP in case they radioed for help. In any case, these boats sunk with loads of debris popping to the surface, as well as an oil slick. Obviously hauling a bit more than sushi!
