Celebe Sea Turkey Shoot!

So I'm cruising at night in the Celebe sea. I spot a large convoy to the East, go to flank to get ahead, dive to periscope and wait. Fire a couple torps at a fat merchantman. Then the convoy runs right over me - I was literally in the middle! The merchies were so busy doing evasives that one actually ran down one of the Destroyer escorts, not 500 yrd away from my scope! I maneuvered out a ways and fired the last four fish I had into the pack - every one hit something. What an evening!
