USS Pollack SS 180
(TMO 2.5 custom mods )

Departed Brisbane 0700 fro patrol area in Truk-Rabaul shipping lanes. 6 hours out of Brisbane spotted a surfaced submarine. Immediately dove and closed to identify, it was a Gato clas submarine heading for Brisbane. Surfaced and waved them on.

November 8th 0554 in the Coral Sea near 1750 S 15455 E lookouts reported a surfaced submarine at 034. In the morning haze difficult to id Closed in silently at GQ and identified it as a japanese I class heading 180 at 13 knots. Closed to 1200 yards and fired two mark 14 torpedoes.Raised scope just orior to expected impact time, the submarine had disappeared. Went to 250 feet and crept out. Two explosions were later heard as torpedoes reached end of their run.

Remained submerged res tof day, surfaced after dark. Voyage to patrol are continues.

(This is one of the subs I added otoTMO. They randomly reach their last waypoint and delete, simulating a sub raondmly "diving". Quite frusrating and makes them elusive targets.
