Sounds like a bad revenue for the US taxpayers...

That sounds most unlikely!

Brilliant idea!

Crew on USS Silversides sends Best of Luck! And Happy Hunting!

Skipper is more a bit like...

Please send patrol report.

Bagged the carrier, a heavy cruiser and 2 light cruisers and exited without a scratch. I was setting a course to get out when the second light cruiser just wouldn't stop shooting at me, so he got the last 2 fore tubes that I was going to have for a while.

Truk, eatern entrance. Sunk 3 or 4 merchants. My boat was spotted and depth charged, so it ran to the Jap port to the north and moored in a boat slip. The dds tried but could not damage my boat due to the quay wall. And one of their depth charges sunk one of their own boats. I waited until they gave up and sailed off. However, I was out of topredoes. I managed to get away the next day. If I had not exhausted my supply of torpedoes, I would have been well inside Truk with free reign to take care of buiness.

Now that's the kind of evasion I like to hear. I read this account once before. That was a clever idea and a tactic I must remember.

The one think I forgot to mention was that I requested the cook to go ashore and ask the harbor master to send the crew sushi dinners and ear plugs. No dignified submariner wants to dine with depth charge explosions ringing in their ears.

Since I exited in one piece and have several fish left, I am going to submerge by the NE entrance all day, and see who is left the next day. Hopefully I can hang the broom from my conning tower.

Ok, new patrol and I am back. There is something odd happening in Truk, I torpedoed and sank a cruiser an carrier, but none of the other anchored ships have shown any sign of life. Is that normal for harbor attacks?

Only if my boat gets fitted with a cloaking devise. They are upgrades aren't they? Or is it a mod?
