So it was an easy intercept.
I managed to remain undetected, & fired the 2 torps at about 4000m. One was aimed at the bow (below the first turret) and one at the stack.
Unfortunately somehow I got detected (at night, at persicope depth, 2 kts silent running ) & the whole convoy started to weave.
My first trop missed just forward of the BB's bow, but the second hit. The Revenge sank soon thefeafter.
