Dude, S-boats out of Manila had a rough time in the war. There are stories of them managing to pull diesel in wierd ways, and plenty more having to be abandoned. It is the most challenging way to start the game (out of Manila).
Props to you for confirming the historical accuracy of the simulation. You just need a crusty old chief cussing the fuel levels, and a psychopathic machinist-mate talking about sneaking into a civilian harbour and hand pumping diesel out of a small merchant boat in the middle of the night.
