I am actually trying to get away from an invasion force I found traveling north of Aparri, probably bound for Lingayen Gulf. I shot the four bow tubes as a spread from about 3800 yards, since I was losing them, not able to close anymore, and it was going to be daylight in an hour, so I let fly, figuring that I'd turn and let fly with the stern tubes also. I don't think I had turned much more than one degree when the first shot prematured. Not only did it scare the darkness out of us, but it also ruined the stopwatch. I do so wish the thing would "cascade" from one to the next... oh well. So a preemie, a hit on the bow of a light cruiser, that then slowed maybe to 6 knots, and the next two ran deep under a transport... The convoy had enough escorts to leave three behind with me, while they sailed away into the sunrise, with me trying to slink off quietly. Still not clear of these three ya-hoos, so I Saved and came back with the intel report:
 Tracking down a reported ship, but you can see the Aparri Objective is like yours  |
Ahoy, propbeanie...
Sounds like that group or task/invasion force you found, is that same one I ran into while up there around Aparri, for Me. A light cruiser, couple of merchies & a crap ton of escorts... lemme guess... a heading of 274'ish, iirc. Making for the small break in between Luzon & the island just north of it.
Any way, glad My info helped track down an issue with it all...
Thanks for looking into it...
