Part 2.
Strange, a few CA's left at hight speed. The DD's set up a wide perimeter why the two Kongo's slowly headed out. I'll skip most my attack, but sunk one and left one dead in the water.
Sinking one..
Took a little more damage, so many DD's throwing with terrible skill, I finally hide below the Kongo stopped.
I was in trouble. I figured the next day US planes would come. These DD's actually snooped in very close, even threw some charges that blew beside the Kongo...I got right under..
Morning came. There were about 7 DD's spread over 10nm's with 3 hanging around me.
Finally US planes showed up, the flak got heavy.
All planes attack the Kongo...those bombs are strong, at 150ft I took mild damage
Direct hits
I was getting worried that the Kongo would explode, so I pulled out and finished it off. Place last two sterns at forward and rear
turrents.
Both hit and it sunk, when it blew it also sunk the DD beside it.
Took awhile for it to sink, I flanked back reverse and hung around.
The DD's then turned to me in force...Thankfully the US planes kept up the attack.
This DD had just made a run on me. Plane scores direct hit and splits it.
Another DD was making a run, so I aim my sub at the split and go through, but DD follows right through why parts of the ship were still exposed above water.
Anyway, the planes over sometime took out all the DD's. I come up after the battle, from a sky view the entire ocean covered with debris. Probably 50 lifeboats still afloat scattered from both sides...got a SS somewhere of both sides mixed together.
I refit and head for Midway, I've had enough...Leaving to the NW the next day I run into another JP TF coming around Savo, this one is 6 Heavy CA's, 3 Furataka's.... I took a long range shot, missed and let it go...back home to Midway.
My guess a total of 24 ships were sunk in the sound, Iron Bottom for good reason.
TMO2 RSRD...cams obviously engaged and used...
