I used to run into her in stock all the time lol so sank a bunch of times there.

I know where to run into in several places, but this was just the luck of the patrol. Was much harder with C&C off. When it was done I had only one torp left. With cams on I can usually sink it with 8-10. Don't know what I would've done if I found the carrier, but I probably would've tried it. Hate we don't get renown for reporting targets.

Been getting tired of the same old convoys, so been looking for other stuff in RSRD, like the carrier forays during the invasion of Java and Christmas island.

I never see any of the Corte's. Would love to see one. I know of only one that existed, the one the jp's used to scout Pearl Harbor before the attack. It did travel around the pacific during the war, so hopefully that ones in RSRD. It was sunk..think China Sea, but have the info and will go looking for it when the time is right.
