I found one about 100 nm north of the Lomboc Strait in Jun '42. Hit it with one torpedo but it wouldn't sink. So I rammed before it could dive. My sub slid over the top with no apparent effect.
Although I received no credit, on the whole it was a worthwhile experience. I got a good look at the Japanese sub commander. He was dressed in a fancy bright green uniform, like a Shriner on Christmas....
An old thread here mentioned that one receives credit for these subs only infrequently when they sink (or, crash dive).
Great screenshot, btw!
