Default Sinking the KGV

Good morning, Kaleuns,

It's a stormy 1942 day in the Mediterranean. Overcast, mild fog, wind at 15 K/s...and I've blundered into the middle of a large task force. My first one, actually, so I could use some advice.

Peeking through the scope, I can see the Nelson, the King George, at least 5 Dido's, and probably more destroyers than I care to think about bearing down on me at about 18 - 20 knots. If my plotting is correct, the Nelson and the KGV will pass within 800 meters of my bow.

I have 4 torpedoes primed and ready with impact triggers (too windy for magnetic). I'm sitting silent, so there won't be any reloading (and at 20 knots, we won't catch up for another pass anyway). Depth is good at 1000+ meters. I'd like to take down both the Nelson and the KGV if possible (I'd settle for just the KGV, if I have to).

So here's the dilemma: Is it possible to take down both? Or should I just take one and consider myself lucky? What's the best strategy/tactic to use? Is sinking two battleships with four fish just wishful thinking? What would you do in my place...?
