This is so weird. I'm on what will probably be my last patrol of the war, in June 1945. And I keep running into big, fat, juicy convoys of 6-12 ships, including 1 to 3 big 'uns (Nippon Marus and Nagano (?) Marus, 10000 and 7000 tons respectively).

Where were these guys earlier in the war?

I'm pretty sure Japan's merchant fleet, especially the larger ships, was mostly at the bottom of the sea at that point. But the targets are more bountiful than ever.

I'm trying to make my way from the East China Sea to just east of Luzon in the Phillippines, and I am practically getting run over by large convoys every day. You could almost walk from Kyushu to Luzon and not get wet.

Go figure.
