I started at the start of the war with a S-Class then moved to a Porpouis Class then I got a Gar Class. I turned down a Gato Class Boat. Man i was wishing to Continue to the end of the war.
I have had about 5 patrols in the USS Grenadier alone. Three Patrols in the S-36. And I cant remember what the name of the Porpois class was But I had like Two Patrols in it. I am at the start of 1943 Yep I go home after I use all my torpedos and since I find alot of Targets I go thru them. I have 115K tons Sunk including one Large Fleet Carrier which I just sunk on this patrol. I knocked out his Engines with the first Fish. the next three missed and I Hit him with two more which he had just got his Boilers relit and started moving at one kt. I knocked his boilers out again. Next time I got to Parascope Level I put another two Fish into him and he went to the bottom fast. 5 Hits 3 misses but one that missed struck the oiler that was traveling with them and lit him on fire. I made my excape To the north of them after a round of near hits by DC's But they were not close enuf to do dammage. I was down at 300 ft so they couldnt hit or find me. This all took place south of Luzon about 150 miles. Early Jan 1943
