Here we go.
15 december, 1941 in the south chinese sea, USS Sotinoru
"Captain we have detected a airplane at long range, closing quickly" reported radar operator Mike.
"Ok, ALARM!. Dive to persicope depth" replied leutinent Hoffstat
The Gar type US submarine began it's decent into the ocean. The Sotinoru was equipped with an experimental radar. A newer more reliable version had come out but the day before the boat was to be reffited pearl harbor was attacked. They were rushed into action with the older technology.
The sound of multiple airplanes flying over head broke Gordon Hoffstats train of thought.
"hydrophone, can you here depth charges?" questioned Gordon. At the same time he motioned to the CE to increase speed. They had been practicing for months to deal with these sorts of situations.
"Nothing sir"
"Keep sweeping if you hear anything tell me. CE get ready to emergency surface if anything hits us" With that Gordon went to the little section in the bow cabins they had curtained of with a paper and lightwood so the officers could have some privacy. There we took out his one of his two books. On the Sotinoru he allowed each crew member one light novel. They had to share these books around with the other crew members. This kept everything tidy and orderly. He allowed each officer two books. Then he made some little shelves having some woodwork skill to house all these books. This seemed to counter boredom pretty well.
