Spirit of the wolf!

I just wish to mention here (for anyone that may be doubting my level of 'seriousness' towards the game) that I play with 85% realism having only map contacts and stabilize view 'on' ,I play the game like a true sim operating in the area BDU sent me and taking full precautions in all my actions,however after a few days in the assigned area and if there is no action then I usually assign myself new patrol zones,in no way do I play this game like a 'shooting gallery' ,no,what happened to me would have happened to anyone with any amount of aggression and initiative in them,you fortuitously encounter a large convoy containing a major battleship in a most random manner 'out of the blue',and you take your chances and attack them like a wolf,never letting them go!.
As I mentioned earlier,this was the only time I ever encountered a major warship and successfully destroyed it,and its instilled in me a great bloodlust now,just like the Viking berserkers i've read so much about hehehe
I KNOW some of you will understand me here,if not,you'll know it when it happens,and its great!

"He who wants to be victorious on the sea must always attack!" ...not my words.

As a fellow aficionado of Viking sagas, you might recognize this:

"When the war-gods meet
to match their might
who can tell the bravest born?
Many a hero never made a hole
in another man's breast."

This seems to be appropriate for U-boat Kaleuns.
