Congratulations! Must be a lucky week. I sunk a Shokaku class Sunday night (my first ship over 10,000 tons) after receiving an Ultra dispatch about an IJN task force being at a specific location in my neck of the woods. I submerged in front of the task force as it passed and fired off all four forward tubes at a heavy cruiser as it passed my Sargo class. Before they even finished their run I began to swing around my stern tubes to hopefully fire at another cruiser.

I managed to sink the CA and when I poked my scope up again there was a Shokaku class CV filling my scope picture! I fired all four stern shots at a 0 degree AOB with a guess at the speed and a range of 600 yards. It was beautiful!

I had to endure about four hours of depth charging while I was as deep as I could go (175 feet) but it was awesome!!!

Thanks Lurker for RSRDC and Duci for TMO - best patrol ever!
