Patrolling area BRIAR PATCH in June 1944.
Caught Ozawa's force exiting San Bernadino Strait on 15 June 1944 (Flying Fish spotted this force in real life).
Per orders I sent a contact report, then attacked.
Sunk the Taiho, damaged a CA, BB, and unknown ship (three torpedoes fired from long range hit Taiho, which I aimed at. Other three missed and lucky hits on others. DD's paid me back for it though.
Believe this is worst damage I have ever survived in TMO. Depth charge attack was brutal and shocked even. Then the plane getting us the next day. Boat was a total constructive loss. Fifth patrol and planned to change commanders, do a overhaul, and see if could make it to the end, but TMO had other plans lol.
Going to give U boats a try for a while and see if can get the night surface attacks working way I did in TMO. Hell of a last patrol in TMO for a bit.
