Just ambushed a small Japanese convoy again, this time composed of two small tankers in a line being escorted by a lone destroyer up front leading the way in a zig pattern.

Let the destroyer slip past and then blasted both tankers out the water......the destroyer never found me, again it was heavy seas. I ran deep and silent.....not a single ping or DC was thrown in my direction and I skulked off into the night silent and deep. Surfaced at 22:00hrs and detected the Destroyer on Radar.....he was stationary and not moving at all.

I gave him a wide birth and resumed hunting. Its now the next day, and I have a Large Convoy bearing down on me travelling FAST. By my experience, convoys only travel fast when they have very big game in amongst them somewhere.

Periscope depth, up Periscope......its time for Billfish to go hunting!!!!
