I just reread the story myself, and I noticed something else that should make us smile: Note that at Oranjestad harbor Hartenstein torpedoed the tanker SS Arkansas. His first two shots missed a big ship that was tied up at a pier!

So don't complain about manual targetting any more!

Poor man - I can just see him stood on the bridge yelling

"FFS can't we get anything right!"

Still, his crew did ingeniously cut down the damaged deck gun and actually sunk some ships with it! Way to go Damage Control party!
