After the wild nighttime melee of 14/15 November, I patrolled looking for survivors and ships adrift then headed for Tulagi to refit and and set off to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, my new home port(not by choice). While docked next to the tender, an IJN air raid of 30-40 Bettys once again hit Tulagi Harbor.I managed to escape this time and dive, but the harbor suffered heavy damage.The large submarine tender was badly damaged and listing, as well as on fire, the armed trawler next to her sunk by bomb hits, the T3 tanker, sunk.An older four stacker DD on harbor patrol was also sunk.I surfaced later and headed for Midway, where I fueled before finally reaching Dutch Harbor, Alaska.Some shots from the last air raid...
