Best sinking was North West or Truk. I was in a typoon and picked up radar contacts. I did not expect U.S. ships to be in the area so I was assuming it was it was a IJN Task Force heading to Truk.

I fire on radar bearings only at 800 yards. I had two cuties and four steam. I got one hit with the steam and one with a cutie. The other cutie detonated in another area and I got credit for a DD. All others missed.

I watched the contact on radar and followed it around while she made a large port side loop I shot all the stern tubes and got three hits. Once she straightened out her course I got close again and firing on radar bearings alone scored another four hits. The Yamato sank soon after.

Nice shooting......
