December 8th 1941. The U.S.S. Tambor leaves Pearl for an assault of shipping of the Japanese mainland.
After a successful run and a cruise that lasts well over a month I stop and refuel at Surabaya. Heading out of port the weather gets bad. Nearing Balikpapan in the Borneo straight at time compression I am snapped out of it to find myself face to face with a destroyer!
No warning, all dead in seconds after he shells me several times then rams me.
Several hours wasted!
