Finally finished my first campaign on SH4, and I thought I'd share a few mementos from it. Hope all my fellow sub skippers enjoy these!

EAT TORPEX, SUCKA! Akizuki-class DD goes down off Balikpapan as a prelude to one the many times I strolled into the harbor and obliterated everything in sight.

Remember Oklahoma! Kongo-class BB capsized at anchor in Kobe harbor during my 24th patrol. Strolled in and sank THREE Hiryus and TWO Kongos and damaged a Takao for 112,000 tons.

What a Way to End the War! My last ship sunk during the campaign, an UNESCORTED Huge European Liner, takes her final plunge, 3 August 1945.

And the rewards from sinking over 1.1 MILLION tons of shipping:
ROW 1: Navy Cross (with 14 award stars), Navy & Marine Corps Distinguished Service Medal
ROW 2: Silver Star (with 2 award stars), Bronze Star (with 1 award star and Valor Clasp), Purple Heart (with 4 award stars)
ROW 3: American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (with 25 award stars; one for each war patrol made), World War II Victory Medal
