History/Realism Question.

In the wider area of the channel, with 37 meters under keel. Blue the speed estimate on a Tramp steamer and ended up hitting her on the forward hull rather than beneath the engine.

Cursed myself, surfaced with the intent to finish her off with the deck gun, only to told by my sissy watch officer that the seas were too rough. Moot point though since I could see her starting to list...she was going down, but she was taking a long time to do it.

Watching her go down, I strayed too close and in her last dying moments she had the audacity to turn her search beams on me! Picked me out dead to rights. She had more than enough time before going down to radio my position, so now how much trouble am I in?

Is the AI smart enough (and realistic enough) to send out ships from Portsmouth and Cherbourg to intercept me? Or am I pretty safe? Suffice it to say I'm pretty dang paranoid at the moment.
