After a bit of manoeuvring, I'm set up for another shot at the now-alerted freighter.



This time, we get a hit.



However, the ship refuses to go down! After some more manoeuvring around her, I give the boys in the stern torpedo room something to do.



This looks like a certain hit...



...and indeed it is!



Rent by explosions, the merchantman breaks her back...



...and slips beneath the waves.



By the time I'm back on the surface, there's nothing to be seen of her. I order and updated patrol report sent to BdU, then we're off on the hunt again.



...to be continued!
