Convoy from heaven!

Came across the best convoy last night - made up entirely of tankers! 20 of them! Oh - and a Fiji Light Cruiser who was in position with the tankers, not acting as an escort.

Even better their course was directly over top of me! Laid at 30m pretending to be a hole in the water - the lead destroyer went straight over top without noticing me.

Came up to PD behind the lead escort, 1000m from the lead tankers, two beautifull keel shots on the first two T3's, couldn't miss at this range. The last 2 forward fish into the Cruiser from 600m. The T3 *and* the Cruiser blew right up!

Sent the tail fish into the remaining T3, didn't kill it but broke it's engines

Dove and disengaged, the escorts had a half-assed attempt to find me then took off after the remaining T2's and Small T's.

Once everything was quiet I surfaced and (being out of torps and running a U-Flak configuraion) finished off the T3 with my trusty M42-Twin.
