HAS ANYONE BEEN INTO TOKYO BAY?

SeaviewSkipper · 01-23-15, 06:26 AM

I was wondering if any of you intrepid captains has ventured into Tokyo Bay. Is it feasible? If so, is there enough depth to submerge to at least periscope depth without hitting bottom? Thanks.

yep,there's enough depth I think your periscope is slightly visible not a lot in there depending what year you go in there all I found is 2 cruisers and a BB few tankers and that's it.the only problem is coming out hard not to run into anything with the amount of traffic coming in and out plus you also got your shore batteries as well and loads of dd's.

It is mostly merchant traffic even far up north. At Yokosuka there are two Cruisers. I never found it worth it but the water depth is plenty deep enough for you.
