Or if you like, I can easily find that one convoy and give you the info.
Thanks for the link to the article on Japanese convoys. It contains a heap of information. Unfortunately I could not find any reference to a convoy out of Taiwan in late August. Considering the number of merchant ships and escorts involved this seems strange. It does give a good idea though what submarines were operating near the Japanese home islands in late August, 1943 (e.g. USS Pollack, Whale) and I am guessing these 2 may have been involved in some of the attacks on the convoy. Have you got any idea where else I could look for information- I have found that the Official Chronolgy of the US Navy in World War 2 is quite useful.
