You have a very experienced captain. This is the right move.

The T-Boats aren't in trouble, it's a torpedo attack! The boats have launched their torpedoes at you and then turned away to escape Fortunately your ship is moving at full speed so a quick hard turn to Port takes the ship out of the path of the torpedoes. Your ship's stern guns blast away at the retreating T-Boats and you have the satisfaction of seeing a large explosion on the horizon. You got one! The T-Boat's crew pay the ultimate price for their bravery.
