If they spot you a target will go stark raving crazy!

I'm pretty sure they did not spot me. They were doing this "corkscrew" zigzag from the moment I spotted them at pitch black night greater than 8000 yards bow on. I had just read of a zig zag pattern like this in one of several books I have recently been perusing. Trying to find the relevant passage now.

Bonjour,

Without contradicting anything that has been written, I would like to point out that the distance between the target is from the periscope but not from the launch tube.
Simply subtract about fifty meters to the measurement for a real distance.
