This PC trawler (on your picture) is also quite slow to drop depth charges.
Destroyers are faster to move away from explosions 
Out of curiosity, do you remember the date & place exactly ?

That one was middle or late september 1939, my first patrol. Grid AM53 I think, near that line in the sea where it's much deeper and cozy for a u-boat. Also the lead escort (a flower corvette I think) of another convoy I found somewhere west of France (BF or BE grid) was on fire as well but the seas were very rough this time so maybe that's why.
And on my 2nd patrol I've found 2 warships on fire as well north of Scotland lol, task force I think. It caught my eye that on the stern they were designated in big letters as RN-66 and RN-16 If I remember correctly
Btw since I might as well ask this here. Is there any better way of browsing the recognition manual besides clicking the next page button like a maniac ?
