CMANO - To Kill a Kilo

Some twenty minutes later I have closed in with the contact to spit distance (note the scale bar at the bottom, in meters) but my crew was not able to classify the contact. All of the sudden, the contact fired on me (red icon with a small T is for a torpedo) and my crew quick draw two of our own
