Double bubble? What would you do??

Taskforce in sight west of Spain. November 1939. Estimated speed 18 knots. U-46 is sitting perpindicular to their course and approx 800m outside the projected path of the port escort. There are 4 destroyers fore, aft, port and starboard and another doing mad sprints on the other side of the group. Distance to taskforce about 5000m.

And in the middle? 2 Battleships and 2 light cruisers!!! One looks like the Nelson (3 big guns on her bow) and the other is possibly a Revenge class or possibly the Prince of Wales. I cant see a second stack so I dont think so but the angle is tight.

The big, big problem is that the sea is so calm and its only 1500 hours so plenty of light left. Therefore a surfaced attack is out of the question cos I only just got a new boat and I dont want to scratch it yet I'm paranoid about even having the scope up for more than 3 or 4 secs. I'm prob being a bit over cautious but I've come straight from a career that ended in 1943 so I'm a bit nervous about escort capabilities. The second problem is that I'm only loaded with G7A's so a bubble stream could be seen in the calm seas.

My dilemma is this. I'm greedy

I naturally want to sink both Battleships. As I see it my ideal scenario is a 2 torp hit on each, dive to depth and evade. The initial hit will either knock them out (unlikely) or slow them down. If the latter occurs and even knocks a couple of knots off their speed I can follow and flank eventually. The downside is that to hit both I need to fire at the furthermost BS first and then follow with the second salvo. Best case it works, worst case however is that the wake is seen crossing the nearest BS and all ships evade. What the hell to do???

So then my fellow Kaleuns what would you do? A double tap at each and cross your fingers or a full salvo at the nearest Battleship and practically ensure a sinking? This is of course assuming the escorts dont detect me and send me to the bottom. The game is paused!!

Oh and I threw out my initial plan to put 1 eel into each of the BS's and cruisers. Seemed a little too optimistic
