Need tactical help with the mission "The Setting Sun" as a Los Angeles-class (aka 688) SSN? Watch me take on the Sverdlov gun cruiser and its escorts... None shall pass into the North Atlantic.

As we entered into the scenario, we found no less than 6 ships... Sverdlov, Kresta, Kara, Krivak, Udaloy, and a civilian Trawler. There was plenty of water under us, so I went to 300m, silent running, deployed towed array.
When we got a decent solution, 3 torpedoes were launched with a slight dogleg, as range was in excess of 20km, giving us plenty of room.
As the torpedoes approached the enemy fleet, another civilian ship popped up, and range was uncertain, but it was on the same bearing as the enemy fleet. When two of the torpedoes activated, they locked on to... nothing. I realized they locked onto the civilian ship and turned them left toward the Sverdlov.
All three torpedoes impacted Sverdlov, sending it to the bottom.
I reloaded the three empty tubes, then launched two torpedoes, looking for a clean sweep. I also reversed course, as this time I am doglegging the torpedoes north, then east. This time, my torpedoes caught the Krivak and the Kresta, both of which were steaming in at flank speed.
That left the Kara, and the Udaloy. I launched two more torpedoes. Udaloy caught on early and reversed course, and the Mk48 did not catch it. The other torpedo did catch the Kara and sank it.
I launched one more using the sunk ships as noise cover, and this time, the Udaloy failed to escape. A clean sweep was completed, with no civilian casualties.

There were many different factors discussed, from how to position your submarine, to how to read sensor panels. How to set activation points with torpedo, and how to dogleg. How to conduct baffle attacks and how to consider approach angles to optimize sensors. How to locate enemies...
