I was heading back to Surabaya when I noticed I had set my course closer to the Lombok Strait then normal and figured "Eh it's not even February of 42 yet I might as well leave it as i've got fuel to spare." At around 20:00 hours on January 22nd my sonarman alerted me to a warship contact. I figured it was an ABDA ship so I decided to find out what kind it was. Well lo and behold it turned out to be a Japanese sub and at 23:00 hours I got me solution set and fired 4 torps at it with two hits.(The other two were duds and considering how bad early war torps are i'm not complaining at the success rate for this attack.) It proceeded to sink like a rock and Japan was deprived of one sub.
