Deck Gun

I't wasn't easy at all to sink a ship with just the deck gun iirc. Wasn't it outside the American coast a IXB/C, with bigger gun than VII, came up on an unprotected merchant with no torpedo left, and tried to sink it with the deck gun. They emptied the hole ammo store for both deck an heavy AA guns, and the ship was still afloat for several hours before heading to the bottom.

A little side note, Instead of the SSS mayday that ship sent away a mayday that it was being attacked by a cruiser, because it was so unthinkable that an ubot would attack in that way.
