I sat on the bottom 18 NM south of Makung for several days, surfacing at night to get some fresh air. Then, moved to 8 NM West/South West of Makung, sat on bottom, surfacing at night to get fresh air.
In both cases, was within 5 NM of land, so did not surface in day time.
Then, moved 40 NM West/North West of Makung. Sat in middle of assigned area. Only surfaced at night, for fear of aircraft.
I did not enter Makung harbor, for fear of nets, mines and ASW patrols. All attacks made submerged. Was never spotted by anyone, anytime.
So, operations were in Formosa Straight, as per orders. According to your posting, there should have been attempts to locate and destroy me. That is good.
Oh, oh! Just remembered. There was Sub Chaser No 13 Class boat patrolling (?) in the Makung area.
