Fired 3 Mark 18's at lone HEITO MARU just after dawn, two hit, set off a massive series of explosions that blew the ship apart and send the bow airborne, which landed and faced opposite direction of the ships last heading.The third ran in the middle where the ships midship area WAS lol ran itself out, sank and exploded.The pics were snapped as I was in awe, the visuals combined with the amazing sounds from the EAX sound mod was something.The SS really does not do justice but figured I would share.

Sank plenty ships in SH 4 with great explosions, but not like this.Mustve been loaded internally and externally with ammo.Luckily I left the external cam on for this patrol so could see the big surface battles at Leyte Gulf later in the month.
