February 15, 1945
Japanese sub sinkings continue with great frequency. Have about 35 boats left with ten or twelve engaged along the Moppo--West Korean Coast--Shanghai base areas planting little 10-20 Type 88 Minefields. About every over turn I here the delightful mine hitting sound. COOL!
Occasionally, these boats get a chance to shoot at something juicy. Today is that case as I-2-2 sows here 12 mines just NE of Shanghai and then attacks a nice, large American AO. Two TTs slam into USS Winooski and the hapless ship adds to the pain with additional fuel explosions rocking her. She sinks: NICE!
Down along the north coast of Australia I-192 sinks LCM-354 as well as LCM-341 in a combination of TT and gunfire attacks.
Three ships in one day...1945...NICE!
