lurking...

first mission : reconnoiter Hiroshima harbor.

did a few test dives on the way, from surface to periscope depth at 8 knots took 3 minutes ! gotta train harder..

crash dives : 68 '' from surface at 8 knots, she's a sturdy but big and sluggish boat that's for sure.

sneaked in the Hiroshima bay, got shadowed by a gunboat, expended 3 torps trying to sink it. the last one did.

sneaked near the harbor at 2 knot, periscope depth since it's so shallow, periscope up : sighted flattop !

what the heck ! fired tubes one through three :

she capsized and sank ! one for the home team !

next :

sighted two Kongo battleships at anchor : fired both stern tubes at one, three bow tubes at the other...

Kongo 2 : notice the two gaping holes in her !
