What would you do...?

If you know what direction the escorts would come from then I would position one under the stack and one in good spot for that ship. Then move out to 3000 yrds or more and deck gun any ship that you torpedoed but did not sink plus any other ship you can get unitl your reload is done, the attack again with torpedoes.

Do this until out of ammo. If the escorts show up run away on the surface in the opposite direction. If planes show up you will probably need to run away on the surface and fight them until you have at least 100 feet of water so you can get to at least 80 feet.

No escorts, I would plow in at scope depth and let them have it and get out before any escorts show up.

Are they sitting near Balikpapan? If so, probably the invasion force for that area. Be careful, there is a TF of about 10 escorts about in Feb and March near there.

The Java force will come from the shipping lane near Jolo, through the Celebes to Java.

I'd sink as many as I could (picking the juicy ones like tankers) then get the heck out of Dodge.

I would wait until near nightfall, then i would smack as many of the stationary ships i could and then get out of there using the dark for a surfaced escape on the double.

I for one agree with all of them,
le' em have it, before more (if there are some escorts already there)
show up...
