Srange Encounter

Finally docked at Sura and decided to cut the large JP TF that makes the raid into the Indian Ocean. Attacked it before and recall sitting there a few weeks in Feb 42 waiting for it and finally showed up. Guess I should check my patrol dates, but so far hasn't come through, but think it will.

Why waiting I get sonar contacts dived in my S boat. I'm at the strait at Timor where the carriers will come through, can't miss them in this strait.
Anyway, a large group of DD's comes through with a bunch of ships behind them, but a few miles apart . Just when I think I have them dodged, the last sucker pings me, but thinking the carrier TF was behind it, I come up for a look and it's a large invasion force. about 20 different merchants.

Anyway I've hit two of them, not sunk yet, but got more sonar contacts coming up and some planes...maybe the carrier TF yet behind this group.

Anyone attack this Invasion fleet yet.. They're headed into the indian ocean and the invasion of Java is coming. I've studied RSRD and don't recall this one and don't know how I missed it last time. I know of no invasion fleet headed this way.

I'll let ya know how it pans out, hate being stuck in a S boat.

Edit, I checked my battle map, this is the invasion force that leaves Ambrom and invases the SW of Timor...Carriers should be coming through about a week from now, I'll save my torps. Great Ambush spot for both groups strait north of Timor.. Just be there around mid Feb....don't want to make it too easy.
