They sunk their own ship!

I had no torpedoes left after a fruitless convoy attack, and only a few AP rounds left in the deck gun. I had just under 900 tonnes left to go before my objective was completed. After patrolling for ages, I stumbled across gold: a modern freighter that would allow me to surpass my tonnage objective easily. I fired my last rounds into its waterline, and dived to periscope depth.

Slowly, very slowly, the freighter was dipping lower and lower in speed. It was dead in the water a while later, and I decided to pull up behind, unable to deal the killing blow. However, my crafty prey decided to call in air support. Two Zeroes flew in and made bombing runs. The first charge dropped off to my stern quite a bit. The second and third runs were slightly closer, detonating off to either side. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. The engines were set to one third as I slowly maneuvered my S-class sub directly alongside the stricken vessel that stayed just afloat but seemed unable to move. The Zeroes came in for one last run...

A series of explosions tore into the water around me, and they found their targets - both theirs and mine. The ship directly to my port side went up in flames and I ordered a frantic crash dive as my submarine had taken a hit. Sure enough, as by my plan, the freighter went down. Soon after, the only traces of its existence were the split cargo crates floating in the calm blue Pacific water.

The worst part about this is that I DIDN'T GET THE CREDIT FOR THE KILL!

Seriously, help me out here guys
