I am working on a timed message from comsubpac advising about the firing angles concerning duds as well as ordering magnetic features deactivated. I believe in TMO these messages came through but in RSRD, does not.Shocked this was omitted from RSRD actually.
I had a shot at a a carrier leaving Truk yesterday(January 30, 1942) unescorted but making high speed, luckily I was in front and able to get close but too close to track, had to go for stern tube shot.One prematured, other appeared to hit but was in fact a premature explosion, which alerted the carrier, it avoided one, other ran right under , but no explosion until about 20 seconds after it passed under lol.
