I ran into some good hunting WNW of the Aleutians. Just NE of the North of Japan. I was given an assignment to patrol there and, for once, my patrol zone was ripe with targets. Seemed every time I turned around (literally) another merchant was heading my way. The closer I got to Kiska and Attu, the more sparse the targets. Running RFB/RSRDC, there are some air bases up there to be on the lookout for. I was lucky with the weather when I arrived at my patrol zone. Lots of clouds, rain and rough seas. On another occasion, I ran into one of the Kiska battle groups, sank a couple of carriers but, that was strictly by accident. I just happened to end up smack dab in the middle of a carrier group, in rough seas, just before sunset. DDs were spread pretty far apart which gave me plenty of time/distance to evade.
