My first Battleship

Finally!

I left Wilhelmshaven in a Type IID on 18, Oct. 1939. My patrol grid was AN44. After completing my patrol I headed south. While sailing at periscope depth on the 23rd, my sonar man picks up a warship at 270. Raising the scope, I see six ships. 1 Hunt I destroyer, 1 V&W destroyer, 3 Tribal destroyers, and a Revenge Battleship.
The battle started at 17:03. I get within 2500m and fire a salvo of three. Going to 40m I wait and hear explosions. Now, the destroyers are all over the place. I hear them pinging me. After a few hours they start to get further away. I go to periscope depth and the Revenge is listing. I follow and work my way back to firing position. Another salvo of three and she turns over on her side. At 22:21 it's all over.
I've been playing for a number of years, even playing SH5 for a while, and I finally got one. Man! that felt good.
