Escort or target signaled us with a hooded searchlight and escort immediately turned towards us and started closing the range rapidly. When escort was 3,500 yds. from target and 14,000 from us I was convinced he had detected our SJ radar and was coming over to investigate.






What? did an IJN ship signal the Batfish?

The searchlight signal was a challenge, like "who goes there" for a land sentry. If the response wasn't the expected...open fire.
