Sounds like the group to me. Just thought they split after they landed at Tulagi, but I guess the CA's stayed with her. I always go looking for the Shoho during Coral Sea. The last time I sunk it it only was with two escorts, but near Tulagi on May 4. Another time it was with the pass. ships. This time it was south, more in the position where the US sunk it.

I missed it with my one torp. One of the escorts sensed me and the group was at all different speeds and no way to stad it since it's off in the ID book.

I was waiting on it in calm waters over 6000 yards away, dived and silent, when the lone DD came very fast ahead of the group. I was still far enough off it's track, so the lone DD stopped about 2000 yards in front of me and cut it's lights on. The Shoho came fast while the CA's went slower zigging. Course they saw my one torp in the calm seas.

So we head home with a nice score for a S boat.
