Ok, so, i'm on patrol just now, based out of Midway after I transferred my boat there. I'm heading to a patrol point in the South China Sea, and that is where my boat is just now. I've sunk 4 enemy ships and I'm out of bow torpedos. One of those ships was sunk with the deck gun after all 4 fired torps under-ran the friggin target. They were all hits....they just under-ran
Anyway, i'm coming up to having used up half my diesal fuel, despite only travelling at a max speed of 7 knots when i'm on the surface. I'm thinking I might have to make a lengthy trip to a supply base to get more fuel for the trip back to Midway.
Has anyone else had to do this before to get their boat home?
