Playing a fleet boat career, started off in the Asiatic fleet. Feb 9, 1942 I'm just a little southeast of Zamboaga when my look outs spot smoke. Turns out to be a Task Force, since it's bright daylight and calm seas I submerge and hope to get close enough for a decent spread of torpedos.

Fire two at a Furutaka class, one at the closest Fubuki and one at a Hasshu Maru, the wakes are spotted, and the TF starts to go crazy. The Furutaka goes hard to port while the Fubuki next to it goes hard to starboard. THEY BOTH collide and this causes my torpedoes, that otherwise would have missed to hit the Furutaka in the stern. It sets off a magazine explosion and here's the cool part...the Fubuki that it rammed blows up too! An amazing bit of detail, I had no idea secondary explosions could damage other ships. Sadly, I didn't get credit for the DD lol
