7 NOV 1944

Time 1955

Arrived Bungo Suido Straits

5 Dec 1944

===========================

Weather: Extreme overcast sky with a moderate fog.

Entered Bungo Suido undetected and traversed North through the narrow slot and then North East. Under orders governing Operation Sea Snake we are to enter the Seto Inland Sea and patrol in hopes of sighting capital Japanese Naval vessels and radio position and attack if within range.

Course 270, 25 NM South East of Hiroshima detected using Type 286W radar Task Force coming from astern to our South East at high speed .

Changed course 090 ahead flank and plotted an intercept course. At 5 NM from lead target of 8 ships ordered ahead slow and periscope depth.

Sonar loud and steady. Task Force changed course from 000 to 315. Thunderbolt changed course 180 all ahead flank to reposition a better AOB.

Sonar lead target within 1500 yards set Mark VIII torpedoes to run fast with contact detonators. Opened all outer doors and and trimmed the boat at periscope depth.

Raised the scope at 2030, Yamato Class Battleship at 800 yards speed 15 knots and moving from our port to starboard.

Scope set at ZERO,
AOB ZERO,
Order Hard to Starboard
Battleship at 350 degrees FIRED 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.



Seven Explosions heard as we turned hard to port ... 45 seconds later the sound of a huge explosion filled the water and the boat shook violently. Minor damage to the engine room.

Ordered rudder amidships and raised the scope to see the burning ship and more secondary explosions from the dieing battleship. Turned the scope to check for escorts and sighted a Heavy Cruiser at 300 degrees, range 1200 yards.

At 950 yards AOB ZERO, target at 340 fired 8,9,10. Cruiser changed course hard to port and evaded two from the salvo. Third Mark VIII hit forward of the superstructure.

No return fire from the ship indicated our scope had not been spotted. Set course 140 to evacuate the area. Identified 2 Heavy Cruisers (1 Furutaka and 1 Mogami class), One additional Yamato Battleship, 4 Light Cruisers (2 Sendai, 2 Kuma class).

Sighted two additional Task Forces upon leaving Bungo Suido along a 14 NM stretch from AO Island North East to the North West passage between Gogo Island and Nakajima Island.

4 carriers
5 Heavy Cruisers
6 Light Cruisers
