Whew, this was one tough patrol, and it gets worse. Doonmt know how i managed to escape all the destroyers but I did, sinking 12 merchants, and 9 warships. well, after expending all my torpedoes, and i get my mission complete status, i radio up my latest sitrep, over 65,000 tons sunk, what does SUBCOMPAC do? they send me to Hiroshima Harbor to do a photo recon!!!!!!! Now, who in their right mind would send an unarmed sub into harms way like that? Well, I decide to go anyway, and enroute i meet up with this task force. I was going to avoid contact with it but i wanted to see what was in it. hmmm, an escort carrier and a tanker and some cruisers. It is nighjt time. Well, i do have 60 rounds of HE left for my deck gun, I might not be able to sink it but i might be able to damage it, so i say what the heck, surface and engage the escort carrier with my deck gun. sunk it after 15 rounds. oh crap, here comes a destroyer. take me down to 30 meters, shut off engines and go to silent running. 3 cigarettes later, the destroyer gives up and leaves, so i continue on to the harbor. inside the entrance to the harbor, i run into an unescorted merchant ship. well this is too good to give up, so i engage it using the last of my deck gun rounds. wow, wouldnt you know, my very last round sinks it. im beginning to think that i shouold have resupplied before i went into photo recon mission, because in the harbor were three stationary merchants. hmmm maybei will resupply and then go back and sink them.
