Default Crazy Gun Engagement with Black Swan

09 Jan 1941.
20:00 hrs.

Approaching convoy at PD leading Black Swan got too close, I hit it with a torpedo. The BS stopped and settled to main deck awash. I had to dive as 3 Black Swans converged on me.

Depth charge kabooming went on 'till 01:30 Hrs. They would lose me and find me again and again.

When it got quiet, I went up to PD. The crippled Black Swan was still floating.

Not wanting to spend a torpedo, I approached cautiosly and waited for daylight to asses damage.

at 1500 meters no reaction to periscope. Up to 9 meters depth.
No reaction to top of conning tower showing.
Decks awash, gun crew on deck.
With decks awash gun would not load.
No reaction from Tommy sloop.
It looked the Black Swan was fully disabled.
Up to 5 meters.
Black swan opens fire with all its guns.
Shells whistle past and land all around
"Fire at will!" I thought this was the end of my rather nice career. Idiot Brag perishes in stupid duel with Black Swan.
Our gun fires and hits the Brit vessel. Secondary explosions. Brit shells keep ripping by.
Miraculously, we haven't been hit.
Our third shell silences enemy fire.
Next time I will not be so economical with torpedoes.

Here's the UZO view
