Working with GFO..

Put to sea off Manila in my new S18, took a longgg time to get the east coast off Leyte gulf.

Employed my favourite 'ostrich' tactic and picked up a contact at about 15Nm, bearing 355. Monitored for 10 minutes and found it moving eastward... surfaced and set course 30, at flank speed for 1 hour. Submerged again to do a sonar scan and found they'd passed me and were on a bearing of 50.
$%%^ subs bloody slow

, but that's good...

but I wasn't chasing as they were destroyers, that I could just make out through the scope.. so I'm back to 'ostrich mode'...
