Default Dead Stop

While on patrol in the Celebes Sea I had a shot with my last torpedo at a Medium Old Merchant. The crew was a sharp eyed bunch and sighted me as I slipped under the waves. I finally thought I had the zig zag pattern down but the dang ship turned as I fired. The torpedo almost missed the target but expolded in the extreme rear of the ship.

Low on fuel I had no chance to chase it down and without torpedoes I was resigned to sadly watching the ship steam away. I was amazed to see the ship stop dead as if it had slammed on the brakes. A camera view shows why, it is awful hard to sail away without a propeller. My hit blew a big hole in the stern and carried away the propeller! I watched it flood and slip under the waves adding another kill flag to our boat.
