For a good time.....

[AVGWarhawk]

OK, they handed me the USS Drum. Start patrol from PH. Fine, gives me a chance to test out the fuel situation. I usually start in the Asiatic Fleet..food is better. Anyway, as I motor on out to the Celebes Sea to start my first mission, I decide to blow by Midway as it does not make sense to head there for fuel...kind of out of the way to my area of patrol. I decide to try a harbor to scrounge for fuel. Since none of the harbors are colored coded for friendly and enemy, I decide Melekeok in Palau looks as good as any. This is were the good time starts. Melekeok is Japanese held and since the US sub pulled into enemy ports I went at this one. One destroyer on the move got dispatched to the bottom, there are land units so surface attack close in is risky. Planes also. I spend the rest of my stay sinking merchants and a pesky subchaser. It is very deep in the harbor so no problem there if a undesirable shows up. Excellent time playing with the TDC.

OK, out of fish and decide to head to Brisbane for a drink, a refit and a chick....not in that order either . After that, I head to Celebes Sea to finish the mission.

I love being the Skipper.....I get no back talk either
