Can't do worse than I did.

S-147 (S-class)
Dec 8, 1941 Manilla
Patrol zone [OPA1, Yellow Sea]
Manual TDC

Dec 30 - Located a Japanese fishing vessel of 200 tons near the entrance to the Yellow Sea. Sank same with night deck gun action.

Jan 5 - Located 60 ton Japanese sampan in the northern Yellow Sea during a moonless night and pouring rain. Sank same with deck gun at 200 yards with no visibilty. Excellent deck gun handling by torpedo officer Paul Brogan.

Jan 12 - Located a two ship convoy in the Phillipine Isles. Believed to be Japanese freighters. After a successfull end around maneuver the two were discovered to be an American fishing boat and an American gun boat.
No action.

Jan 28 - Arrived at temporary base in Java with 5% fuel remaining, and all torpedos.
