0900 hours - freighter maneuvers near port side of sinking tanker - we are submerged off tankers starboard side - more explosions with skyward ejection of debris - lifeboats rowing away from burning wreck

0907 hours - tanker sinks to expose stopped freighter 300 meters away at bearing 355 - only one bow tube available - plot solution and fire - 20 seconds running time to impact

0908 hours - torpedo impacts amidships - large ball of fore and smoke erupts from funnel -
Ship twist violently - rolling hard to starboard - forward hold explosion sends debris skyward - lifeboats put away - the sea is full of wooden crates and lifeboats

0910 hours - freighter rolls over to starboard - surface to aid survivors - 37,450 GRT

Make turns for flank speed to rendezvous with nearby supply tanker - must replenish torpedoes before infiltrating Fremantle harbor...
