On my way out to my patrol zone I spotted a Gato sub and made an attack approach. As I was nearly in ideal firing position I had to crash dive due to an Allied patrol plane. That set the Gato to zigzagging and I abandoned the idea of attacking it.

What really puzzled me was that in my GWX recognition manual there is no entry for the Gato. I had no idea of her draft so I was going to fire a G7E at 1.5 metres running depth. In the end, thanks to the patrol plane, I have no idea if my attack would've worked.

I love how the unexpected always makes your patrols both interesting and varied.
