As long as I have been playing any sub sim yes that was even in the DOS days I have never had a patrol like this one.

I went searching for the Marianna's Task force. Well I found it it. I couldn't count the Destroyers ... I didn't have that great a death wish but I can tell you how many CV there were.

Six CV in two groups. I sank them all.

Taiho, Hiryu, and 4 Shokaku. Add to that CA Mogami, CA Furataka, and BB Fuso to round out 9 capital kills for a total of 213,900 tonnes in less than two hours with no time compression. I never once got splashed by a DD. They seemed to be more worried about the Dauntless bombers flying overhead.

I gave the crew my bottle of Scotch and let each one have a shot.

After setting at 300 feet or a while we came to periscope depth to find a downed pilot. With two DD setting 5000 yards off to the west in the night seas we surfaced and picked up the down pilot, submerged and went back to 300 feet and off to Midway for a great many beers.

I can not image ever topping this patrol.

FOTRSU is fun.
