The previously mentioned TF was in the Celebes Sea, East of Borneo (got it confused with Manila).

Pertaining to this thread: in my new career, John Doe and his diligent crew (of USS S-27) ran into a large carrier TF heading North in the Sulu Sea on his way home to the Jawa people after Manila was captured: at least two carriers and their BB escort (possibly 3+), and the cruisers, destroyers and auxiliaries. I ran into the task force's CAP first, they never saw me as I dived to PD. Surfacing again, and positioning myself North of the first column: a cruiser leading two battleships. The column that contained the carriers was too far East (for want of stern tubes in a S-class!).

Anyway, I launched 4xMK10 impact fish at the first battleship as he was passing my optimum firing aspect; I witnessed two impacts, unknown if all four hit. Due to the massive seas, she quickly took on water with a massive list to port and capsized soon after. Kill board said it was a Fuso-class BB. Got away without a scratch!

There she is!

Impact!

Fuso going to the locker!
