Been stalking a small convoy, sunk 2 of the four merchants and successfully evaded the escorts..was on my way home when lookouts reported a contact.

Lovely dark night so I turned towards it and closed the distance. When I got to within 2000m went to periscope depth and reduced speed. Quick look through the scope and there is this destroyer just sitting there slowly drifting. I am coming directly at her and she has her stern to me, well its just off to the left of my view in the scope, so what would that be about 15 degrees ???

Anyways...set up the torps and fire at 800 meters my scope is pointing right in her middle....cant miss can I....(saved just prior to this)

Yep....missed everytime....I have tried every which way but each time she speeds up just in time...How can I sink the little blighter, its personal now
