How many Yamato class BBs were there?
I thought there were only 2?

TMO 1.9 and RSRDC.
July 5, 1945. Assigned to patrol the Bungo Suido. Figured it as a suicide mission, but what the hey. Near dusk, while stalking a lone freighter, picked up a task force on radar heading in my general direction. I use external cam for fun, so flew on over and HOLYCOWTHATSABIGSHIP! But playing fair I completed my attack on the freighter. It took a couple gun shells to finish off, so I surfaced in the midst of some fishing boats (crowded sea) and shot a couple of them up, also. (Thought the task force was farther away then it turned out to be.) This ticked off the destroyers guarding the Y, so we played cat and mouse for the rest of the night and the next day. I chased them all down the coast, never quite catching up to the big Y. Finally got a contact report off and was told, "Sink It". Well, duh...

But by the middle of the next day, the task force was out of range. So I sadly sailed back to the bungo, arriving at dusk on the 6th. Oh Joy of Joys, the exact same task force is coming out again. Not only that, they took the same route! This time I was sitting with a perfect shot (thanks Rockin Robbins) and 10 torps later, down she went!

As an aside, the escorts must not have liked the Y#2 very much. After my first salvo, they made one circle looking for me, then left her sitting dead in the water. I never even went to silent running, just sat under the thermal layer reloading and evilly chuckling.

So by 2000 on July 6th, Y#2 was sinking. Feeling greatly daring, I decided to sail up the Bungo Suido and use up my last torps.

Now it is dusk on July 7th, I'm tracking a slow merchant by sonar, and ...another task force is coming through. With a third Yamato!

Have I found the magic regenerating never-ending battleship tree? If so, I wish I could find the magic never-ending torpedo tree to go with it.

same task force generating same spot 3 days in a row?
