Oh we thought you said a junk not a super battleship

After six good patrols and one flog I get a new Balao class. Ordered to anti-shipping around Truk lagoon. One night I sneak in and find the Yamoto anchored parallel to a Fuso battleship. Very carefully I position myself bow to Yamoto and stern to Fuso. I let 'em have it. All torps gone and two battleships under our belt we sneak back out with destroyers hunting us everywhere.

Entering Midway we expect a heroes welcome and Medals of Honor. Instead we get a cup of orange juice and a Mk. 14 reload.

Should I send a letter to the War Department?

I got a pair of polka-dot boxer shorts, count your blessings.

No one probably heard of the Yamato by then so they must have not known the impact. I'm pretty sure the Japanese know though.

Orange juice? What I would give for a glass of lovely fresh chilled orange juice :hmm: . Besides you should have surfaced and engaged them simultaneously with the deck gun. "It would be glorious comrade!"

OK, I'll bite, LOL...

You were lucky to have juice!! We used to have to suck on a damp cloth while looking at a picture of an orange!!!

Next!

Luxury. We had to suck on dry asbestos, whilst sitting under a sun lamp. Tell that to kids these days and they just don't believe you.
