USS Trout on Patrol in the Java Sea March 43'
A run in with two Betty's
They made two passes before my crashdive commenced
My Chief shot them down on the AA, moments before we got under.
A two ship kill (almost), tanker on the left with Torpedo and the one on the right with gunfire
The first sank almost imediately from 4 tube salvo, the second took a little longer as the two torps missed, so I chased her down with the deck gun, till I ran out of ammo as had already fired my last torpedoes so off to base.
Off to Fremantle
Total Tonage for the Patrol 24064 tons
2 Zero's
3 Betty's (Last two (above) Caused Flooding in the aft torpedo and control room almost went to the bottom, emergency surface, and ahead flank worked, one of the few I guess. I didn't dive again till repairs were completed)
4 Sampans
2 Large Modern Oilers
1 Medium Old Composite Merchant
