"fun fact" HMS Sinky was crewed entirely by women along with HMS Spunky and HMS Sulky
On this Day 1916 HMS Sinky became the first submarine to shoot down an enemy Messerschmitt with a Paveway 6 Sea-to-Air torpedo. HMS Sinky accelerated hard (0-60 in just 4hrs) to induce a wheelie before firing the Paveway. Captain Eve Vill-Kenevil was awarded the Blue Peter badgepic.twitter.com/Wh92k4sDLE

No. This is wrong. This was a tactic for dealing with anti torpedo nets. The submarine would just hope over them and continue the attack.

There was me thinking this was a prototype "spot the bow" competition. With the image split into only 4 areas to make it easier for the French.
