second patrol, after having scouted two areas, i'm free in the Celebes sea. February 14 , 1942
cruising next to the coastline near Jolo, spotted a minesweeper, followed it at flank speed on the surface to try and gun her down...
and stumbled across this :
she was rejoining a convoy !
dozens of small cargo ships...
as it was heading away from me at 9 knots, I could only cry...
