Did I mess up

Well I was on my 2nd mission of my first campain with GW installed. Well my grid was just west of Ireland's SW corner. So in my typical style I decided to run the channel with my VIIB. I figured since the war had just broke out mines wasnt a issue yet ,,,,,,I guess :hmm: . Well I got to the mouth of the channel and went under , did a good hydrophone scan myself and watched them for 20 minutes looking for a pattern so I could get a opening.Well it looked like I could make a surface full speed run almost in sight of dover and be in the more favorable waters of the mid channel by day light. Well I was making good time when this little armed trawler came out of the south so I turned NW . Well by this time it was almost light when I heard the crew calling out ship spotings so I scaned the horizon ,I could see Dover and it was packed :hmm: . I figured it would be a good time to stop for breakfast at harbor ,a british harbor. There was a flower guarding the gates and a V&W off in the distance so I sumerged . I made it right to the opening when I heard the flower change course in my direction shortly after he disappered in the sound of my engines . So I went silent and slowed to 2 knots , shortly after I heard death charges but they were way behind me ,either Im lucky or I was about to be up the creek. I was luck he had droped them in a line a few hundred yards behind me and started to circle where he thought I was. I figure Id better see what the VW was doing and he was makeing a beline for south of the flower ,whew. Well I get into the harbor I decide I better raise the periscope to see if my trip was worth it.
Heres what I saw

I thought I had died went to heaven . Tube 1 set at 13 meters Mag open fire no TDC , Tube 2 3 meters Impact 15*s open fire,tube 5 standard settings fire. The J class got hit first broke in 2 and went down , 40 seconds later a torpedo exploded under the bow of the passenger and with massive secondary explosions the ship went down like a brick. The troop ship to a hit but didnt budge . So I fired fish number 3 at it ,while that was inbound I did a sweep with the periscope and noticed the flower and the VW were still playing to the south. But when I got to the harbor opening something caught my eye it looked like a wake with out a ship so I zoomed in it was PT boat comeing strait in. Perscope down to the hydrophone station ,I listened for the PT boat she can into the harbor hard and made a J hook stoping about a 100 meters north of me, then she disappered. So I figured she stop and is waiting for me to take a look.So I figure it wouldnt be long before the PT big brothers role in on me .

So I came up with a plan, Im going to back in between the passenger ship and the docking shes listing aginst it so I figure theres no way they can get to me. Ill wait for them to give up and head home. Well then RL intervined , my loving GF told me it was time to put the game down . but Im living at HER house and using her DSL so to keep things I have to submit , Plus the couch doesnt sleep good :rotfl:So I saved the game sumerged ,like I didnt have enuff problems in the game right now. So do yall think it will load back ok , and will I get out alive?
