Luck or lucky

While on my way to patrol off Japan. While en-route my sonar operator said warship closing medium speed, so I went up to Periscope Depth and decided to take a look round. Then I saw it, the IJN Yamato, that ship was huge, it was heading to the Leyte or Luzon. I immediately accessed the situation, I thought "if I sink that ship, it will be a huge hit to Japan's moral, and Economy" as a lot of steel was used in her construction. So I made up my mind, I Stalked Yamato, for the better part of two days, sending contact reports at night then submerging. At 0000 hours on the third day the firing solution was as perfect as I could get it, I fired 6 torpedoes, reloaded, but alas it was not needed, for the Yamato sunk I have no Idea why it did, as I've seen Yamato swallow all of the torpedoes in my hold. By this time the Destroyers were very mad, and I was nearly sunk, before I ordered a crash dive hard port rudder, flank speed.
I then went and sunk 5 ships out of a convoy of 10 . By this time I had exhausted all of my Torpedoes so I retired to Peal Harbor.
