I was awarded the commad of the USS Salmon on December 2 1941. I have RFB and I normaly go with the Asiatic Fleet. I am currently on my first Patrol and drew by chance the same patrol area that the Real Salmon had at the start of the war. North west of Luzon. However I had a major differance as I sunk 3 Agano Crusiers of which only 4 were built. I also sunk a Destroyer. however all made easy targets as they were part of the invasion of Luzon and were sitting still as the were preparing to bombard the coast durring the invasion. All the destroyers exausted there DC's trying to sink me but I made my excape. The Real Salmon survived the war and had an awsome incounter with 4 escorts durring a war patrol in 44 in which they closed to 50 yards with one killing its crew that was on deck. They made there escape into a squall leaving the Japanese wondering where the other subs were.
Cheers to the Crew of the USS Salmon.
