poor visibility

during my last patrol, i had no contact (even on the rockall bank). I decided to go home through the irish sea. the weather was rough, i found some merchants off liverpool, but visibility was so low that i coudn't see them until 250 meters. couldn't even get a solution from the watch officer. i got too close to a large merchant, fired 2 torpedoes blind (both bounced off at 200 m) and the he blew both my periscopes off and killed my whole watch crew. then i gave up and headed home. anyone have any techniques or advice?
