Third patrol on board a Kaichu

I am asked to leave Penang and intercept a Task Force in the IO before they reach Melbourne. Intercept northwest of Coco Island. I layed in the patch of the coming ships hoping to get close to the 2 Fidji Class Light Cruisers,

As per orders from the C and C : one torp for merchants and DDs, two for light cruisers and a full salvo for Aircraft Carriers.

I fired a salvo of two torpedoes at the first CL, hit fore of the middle :

I then fired the remaining two torpedoes at the next CL, but one at a time this time aiming just aft of the bow

and was rewarded by two hits ! but unlike the first she didn't sink right away...

she is listing heavily to starboard, one torp hit aft of the bow the other aft of the Bridge.

469 miles NW of Coco island, a third torpedo was her "coup de grace"

, now going deep and silent

keltos reporting.
