Moments of complete frustration

1. just got my new IXB and was submerged listening for contacts. This is in BE 36 on my way further out into the Atlantic. My Hydrophone picks up three merchants travelling south east straight at me. they're traveling in two in one row then another off to their port. I set my boat right between their plot bow tubes at the row of two stern tubes set to take out the other, I raise my scope and can't believe my luck 2 large tankers and a large merchant! As I'm about to release my eels I notice they're ITALIAN!!! No escort and sailing extremely close to England this is in 41?

2. I caught a British fiji crusier parked in a fjord during the German invasion. Shallow water but no escorts in sight so I get myself into a perfect firing position, 700 meters
90 degree angle to target. Fire to eels, both hits, one hits rear magazine and the crusier explodes!!! I watch her go down stern first she settles with bow out of the water and I don't get credited with the sinking. I fire 3 fish into her bow trying to get her to go under no luck

Anyone else with frustrtating stories???
