patrolling south of Truk I think just cruising around in the pouring rain at night with about 3 feet of visibility.
Got tired of the rain and seas and decided to take a dip below to get some rest, havent seen a contact in days.
Of course as soon as we reach about 40 feet 'sonar contact'. A little bit of planning and a course is plotted to intercept. Thank god we have radar should be able to get close still surfaced.
Well as we closed we picked up another contact and another and another... wholy... its a convoy, military and freakin huge, never seen anything like it.
We work our way in and get ready to set a shot on one that was going to come by close... real close.. like 600 yards.
Pop up the scope and start working the solution open the rec manual and go back to the scope.. hey wait a minute... the flag.... its white
and thats a big ass ship for a japaneese... I wonder....
So I 'cheated' popped to exterior cam and 'flew' over to the contact... Fletcher Class DD
boy that was close !
I tooled around for a while longer and it was an invasion fleet two groups counted 38 ships in the first group
We sailed right through the middle of them surfaced and exchanged waves. We dident mention that we had them lined up and were literally 10 seconds away from firing an electric eel at them.
