I was out on my last patrol using TMO and RSRDC, heading over towards the East China Sea from Midway, when I got one of those flash traffic messages, informing me of IJN ships redeploying to home waters from Rabaul. They gave me a suspected location and intercept time, which happened to only be about 100 miles away and pretty much where I was heading towards anyhow, so I made a slight detour on my deployment. 28 hours later, here comes 4 ships on radar. Turned out to be 2 DDs and 2 Kongo BBs. I fired six torpedoes at the lead Kongo, hit with 5, sank it, and managed to evade. GOD, did that feel good!
