I got in to Honiara last night, after sinking both the DD's patrolling outside.
Once in I sank two 10,000 ton tankers. On my way to New Britian now. |

I will say there was a nice big flattop, and a heavy cruiser in Truk, that I didn't notice till way too late to change my attack plans.

That's true. It's just strange with such a large task force there was no active destroyers guarding it or anything.

Raiding harbors did happen, so I don't see it as entirely unrealistic.
The USS Barb (SS-220) under Capt. (later Admiral) Fluckey once did it, escaping in broad daylight. Here's how she did it: Quote:
Note at the bottom of the kill flag: a train! That job was done by Navy Frogmen as the train was probably out of torpedo range.

Not to mention the faulty depth keeping on the Mk.14s...

Yes, it happened, but it was at night, and it was not a heavily protected anchorage. At least not in the usual sense. |

Thanks for all the great targets! I plan on running a recon op on some of these tonight, hopefully I'll be able to report some serious tonnage!
