From the TMO Manual

"Two special units to watch out for:

“Bungo Pete”
The nemesis from the movie “Run silent Run Deep” makes an appearance in Trigger Maru. He's the
only Akikaze Destroyer in the game, and can usually only be found in one place. Although he may
make an appearance from time to time as a convoy escort later in the war.

“PB102”
IJN Patrol Boat 102 will sometimes make an apperance.. Formerly known as the USS Stewart (DD-
224). A clemson class destroyer captured by the Imperial Japanese Navy, and put into service as an
escort. This boat was credited in the attack that sunk the USS harder, commanded by “destroyer killer” Sam Dealy."

That's the TMO manual, RSRD overwrites TMO campaign layers. It's been a long time since I've looked, I believe an elite escort is there, just not in the RSRD campaign traffic.

There is a two-ship anti-sub group that patrols the Bungo Strait, a destroyer (sometimes a Momi or other DE) and what appears to be a small cargo ship that is identified by the sound man as a warship. Beware the "cargo" ship! If you manage to sneak in and sink the escort, you will find that the "cargo" ship is sonar-equipped, has depth charges, and multiple deck guns of the cannon variety. The captain is persistent, wily, and will be near-impossible to shake. I always thought this was Bungo Pete in another guise until reading the above. In TMO 2.5/RSRD I've never run into the Akikaze - only this duo. I'm about one for four in managing to take them both out, and never without sustaining a lot of damage. I am curious to know if there was a real-world counterpart to this team.

This is a standard sub hunting group in RSRD. One thing RSRD lacks is enough Subkiller groups, TMO has a plenty. I replaced RSRD with TMO's Subhunter files, does make it a lil more exciting.

As I said, from TMO. His reference is to the movie, not the campaign of the same name.

Is Red becoming a tad argumentative or is it just me.....

[Sailor Steve]

No, I think he just misunderstood what I was saying. Or what Ducimus was saying. Or maybe I misunderstood what I was saying. It wouldn't be the first time.

OK, I see no need to press charges at this time....Let me know if he offends you.

I think someone's self appointed authority has gone to his head.

Probably because I suffer so much at home.

Uh....

We need to press charges against the self-appointed admiral for abuse of power.
