I use RSRD as well

Nice find! I been sent to the Molucca Passage and then to the Celbes sea. I finally found a small TF but again, I was to slow to get into position. I did attract a couple destroyers and bagged one of them. Played cat and mouse for a while with the other and got an 800 yard shot off and of course, dang dud. There were two cruisers but I couldn't catch them in "ole Grand ma".:p Get this: I surfaced and did my best to provoke the other DD but the sucker ran away! I even fired my deck gun at him but he kept chugging. I'm pretty sure he ran out of DC's. Well I have orders to stick around in the Celebes sea while the provisions hold out. So so far, I have a pitiful 1680 tons Maybe something is coming my way.
