1st Campaign

[Cooter1966]

Started my 1st campaign out of Pearl. I have to go to Japan(Honshu?) so I figure I better stop a Midway to top my fuel tanks. That's a LONG cruise, used time compression alot. So I stopped and topped fuel and head out. Tick Tock Tick Tock, lucky I put some music for the gramaphone on. So I get out to the mark on my map about 11:00/midnight and get a message to sink merchants, alrighty then. Start to head towards Kobe but changed my mind, went along coast heading East. Another message, base changed to Java(better watch my fuel) Get a couple of contacts, Nice a medium Composite Freighter and a small one. I position myself to get a 90 degree shot and wait for them. Periscope depth, about 6:00am, do my calculations on the first one(bigger one) and wait about 7 mins. Fire 1&2 about 10 secs. apart. Both hit and freighter starts to explode. Sweet. Line up on smaller one and fire 3&4.... both miss(little boogers quick) so I did a emergency surface and nailed'em with my deck gun, took 6 shots at waterline but I got him. I figure I'll cruise north a bit them head south towards Hong Kong looking for targets. The only thing I didn't care for was the LONG trip from Pearl, but now it's getting real interesting.
