Yarrr we found another big TF this time headed through the Java. I had better positioning and wound up inside the DD screen. With the help of 5-6 foot seas We maneuvered and dived in a great spot. Loosed our four fish and they ran straight and true. Kablammo! nailed one of the Heavy Cruisers, he was history!! Cut the engines and dove down under the thermal layer to reload but the TF moved on before my first two tubes were finished. A single DD stayed behind, She was sitting pretty not 750yds dead ahead. Slowly we rose from the deep like a S-Boat sea monster and let her have two tickets to the bottom. Then we moved off in the direction of the TF. Found a DD on her way back towards me. Range 6,000 yards i opened up with the deck gun lol.
WE hit her 3 times in a row, Big explosions, and she turned tail and ran!!!!
That was the last we saw of them. Now under way to recon a harbor in Borneo. Wish us luck.
