TMO Update V2.0
Donation Narwhal mod
100 difficulty, cams off, map contacts on

After completing special mission delivering ammunition and supplies at DIBUT BAY, LUZON, proceed towards SAN BERNADINO STRAIT but with orders to avoid area until 29 October. In between orders, decided to check in on SAN MIGUEL BAY. Usually some decent ships transiting in and out of the bay, running the coast up to LAMON BAY etc.

26/27 October 1944
14-14 N 123-8E
12 miles off entrance to San Miguel Bay , Philippines

As approached SAN MIGUEL BAY on the surface at night, sticking to deeper waters in the approaches off the entrance. Detected radar signals, then SJ made contact. 1000 ton aux patrol craft coming a long. Given do not get a lot of shots to sink vessels and figured she was worth a torpedo, went to GQ
to fire one of the four torpedoes in bow tubes (load reduced to just six, four forward, to aft, on special missions)

Submerged for approach but somehow was detected. Enemy turned in and NAUTILUS lined up for a "down the throat" shot. Fired tube No.1, but apparently misjudged the range. Torpedo hit, but did not exploded, likely did not have time to arm. Rigged for depth charge, silent running, went to 200 feet.

Passed a thermal layer 185 feet, leveled off at 190 feet. This for a time helped thwart the enemy above. However, after a while seemed to locate me.
Every 10-15 minutes, makes a run on us, dropping a couple charges.

Time is 0021 27 October 1944 , have made it into deeper waters and thus currently at depth of 345 feet, with bottom at 370. A second patrol boat type (judging by the sound) is en route from SAN MIGUEL BAY to assist, as can be heard making its best speed to join in from that direction.
