On my first patrol, I was tasked with an agent insertion just S of Osaka, Japan. Slipped in and dropped off the agent, and - as it was just before dawn, decided to sneak into a nearby naval base and see what we could see. Hit a Fuso with four torpedoes and sank her in shallow water. Her huge superstructure was still poking above the waves as we departed. Got my first Bronze Star for that, too. Now it's mid-October 1944 and the biggest warship I've sunk in 2 years has been an Akizuki-class DD.
