Ship sunk by ramming.

I encountered a small merchant and shelled it with the last of my deck gun ammo. It listed to port and was on its side at almost 90 degree angle. I waited a while, but it wouldn't sink.

Radioing BdU about the situation, was told to "be more aggressive!" Shrugging my shoulders and not wanting to waste a torpedo on an almost destroyed ship, I decided to ram it from its starboard side. After hitting it, and with my bow on top of the ship, I got the "enemy unit destroyed" message and it slowly sank.

It seems too coincidental to be that the ship sank on its own. Later that patrol, I disabled a C3 with my last torp, and its rear end was almost underwater. Try as I might, I wasn't able to sink it even with my u-boat on top of it. I had to abandon that one.

"Be more aggressive!" lol
