Hello,

ok no problem i did not mentioned it before.

Still i could use active sonar against lone enemy merchant ships, which i encountered many during my few RSRDC careers.

So far, i only came across 1 convoy in the Sea of Japan in the Summer of 1943. However, it was during a night and the weather conditions were good.

I even sunk a escort destroyer, leaving a merchant ship defenceless. I sunk him with deck gun, because i was low on torpedoes due to the cat and mouse game with the destroyer .

After few hourse came the rest of the convoy which i bypassed, because there was from 3-4 escort ships there.
