My first BB! Very nice.

Sailing off Cornwall I was trying to catch a medium speed large convoy. Just as I decided I couldn't intercept, another convoy appeared heading right for me. Went to 20m, silent running at 1 kt. Slowly everything approached, a C&D destroyer passed close and then moved off. I came to periscope depth in the middle of the convoy. Was quite excited as I'd seen contacts for several large merchants and a large tanker. Then got really excited when a Revenge class BB appeared!

Not taking any chances I got into a great position, fired all 4 bow tubes and slowly descended into the depths. All 4 steam torpedoes hit and sure enough a few minutes later the 31000 tonner slid under the waves! With just a couple of torpedoes left I decided against another run at the merchants and slipped away past another DD.

What a great feeling to nail that Revenge!
