FOTRSU v0.81: 11/13/1942 approximately 1:00 am; 8.5 Nm NW Savo Island - 2 ISO BB's plus a large escort vs. a good number of Allied ships. It was fun to watch (via camera). Aircraft damaged both ISO's so after a bit I crept near in S-36, put 2 MK10 in the bow of each one - both exploded and sank - must have hit their respective magazines - and we got credit for 2 warships and 64,000 tons.
Btw, my "reward" on return to Brisbane was a choice to become an instructor at Annapolis or continue. Just to see what would happen, I first chose the teaching assignment. Crappy ending. So I tried again this time choosing to stay with my boat. My "reward" was a transfer to the Aleutians in my same S boat! This after six successful patrols, all objectives met, over 200K tons of shipping and warships. Was never offered a new boat or any upgrades to my boat execpt for a 20mm AA gun, and a deck gun with no crew slots. That was a pissy career for sure.
Maybe I bitched too much about the lousy MK14's, even though I never had them on my boat.
