My first patrol started on 12/09/41 and it is now 1/10/42 and I have been patrolling Honshu and sitting near Yokosuka at the mouth where everything comes out from Tokyo.
I missed a slow moving task force because I was too far from it and instead of going after it with a 5kph disadvantage and starting 900nm behind it, I chose to stay in the area.
Hunting has been good as I have sank 2 warships and 2 merchants, the warships from my currant hunting ground.
I am debating on heading further up toward Tokyo or heading home to reload. I have plenty of fuel but only enough fish for one maybe two more torpedo runs and certainly question the sanity of going to a gun fight this deep in Rising Sun Land.
Part of me wants to strike deeper but the conservative side says slip back to Honshu Island hit a few more merchants and then head home to Pearl with some nice tonnage on the books.
I have 39534 tons in this patrol so far.
