On my second patrol out of Manila I ran into a task force consisting of an Ise class, a Fuso class and two Kongo class battleships, plus change (meaning four heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and a ****load of destroyers) - Didn't want to try my luck, so I decided to go for the Ise class ship - weakest underwater protection and put my last 4 torps in the forward tubes into her, while at the same time firing both my last aft torps into the Furutaka running on parallel course...
Torps hit, both went down, and I was just sitting there, praying, as the entire task force stopped and sat there for half an hour... but I got home to Soerabaya at last..
