One sturdy tug [Grey Wolves 1,1a]!

I just encountered a British tug boat outside of Britain. Thinking she'd be an easy kill, I submerged my VII-B and put a torpedo into her. She started burning like a bonfire on Midsummer night, but did not sink. I eventually grew tired of following her on x32 time compression, so I put half a dozen HE deck gun shells into her. Still she went on merrily as if nothing had happened (except the fire, of course). I fired another torpedo at her and hit dead on.

She kept going.

Finally having had enough of the damned thing, I went to flank speed and rammed her. My u-boat sank. The tug kept going.

Now my question is: What the Heck did the British make their tugs out of in '39? Reinforced proton torpedo-proof dura-steel from Coruscant?
