Sept. 9. 1939 16:00hrs Using Event Camera.
British Tramp Steamer sunk by VIIB waiting at periscope depth, location approx. 93nm SW of Plymouth England bearing 203.5 degrees.
Attack initiated on target while at 1700yds. AOB 55 ° starboard.

Tube One set at fast magnetic pistol, running depth 6.9 ft. Event Camera showed torpedo practically stroked keel; no detonation.
Tube Four was preset for fast impact pistol, running depth 5 ft. Fired as snap shot after Tube One torpedo failure. Event Camera showed eel ran under ship approx. 9 ft.
Tubes Two and Three fired as close spread snap shot, set for fast impact pistols running at depth of 5 ft.
No. Two torpedo struck target squarely, bounced with no detonation.
Heard detonation of either One or Four in distance at this time.
No. Three struck below water line and detonated at third mast.

Radio reports and the associated Bdu directive regarding magnetic pistol zone setting were preamble to our torpedo malfunctions.
This aspect of the software is topnotch, simulating virtual frustration.
