Sunk a DD... with my periscope

I was ordered to do a photo recon of a harbor on the coast of Borneo. There was a DD going back and forth across the harbor mouth. I got the photo but then the DD either heard me or saw my scope and came running towards me. It went right over top of me and I lost my scope, but then noticed the "kill" marker on the chart. I raised my other scope to be treated to a view of a sinking DD. I had 0 hull damage and no other damage except one destroyed scope... too bad I didn't get credit for the kill.
