Sitting at Midway, July 23 1944, USS Balao, just been replenished. Large aircraft taking off from Midway, over my head and flying around. They have a 'H' tail. and are 4 engined. So must be Liberators. But one was a kamikazi pilot. He was flying along near to me, and flew into the superstructure of a fairly large battlewagon moored nearby - exploded, and fell into the sea, 1 survivor. The battlewagon was unscathed.

I always replen at midway or Johnson atoll when operating from PH because if I leave torps empty, it refills at PH with mk14's. If I replen, it reloads the torps of my choice. Saves me having to empty the mk14s to fill with later Mks.
