Was I wrong
Jan 26, 1941. USS Pickerel, (porpoise class) So We are on our way to drop of a cloak and dagger type guys on the coast just west of Kishiwada (135deg 21min E, 34deg 26min N). Heading North through the shallow straights between Tokushima and Gobo We found ourselves comimg within spitting distance of a plump juicy convoy headed out to sea, loaded up to the gunnels with army supplys to create who knows what kind of headaches for our boys.
Now Comsubpac says our taxi mission is Top secret but the convoy was too tempting. We engaged and sank two modern composite freighters and medium old split freighter. (total of 19k + tonnes)
Was I wrong to risk the mission for such targets?
