Hi all,
Wooooohooooooooo.............
Sub attack at 63,57
Japanese Ships
CV Kaga, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage
DD Yakaze
DD Minekaze
DD Oite
DD Harukaze
DD Mutsuki
Allied Ships
SS Bowfin
The 2nd hit caused a fuel explosion too [8D]
She is relocating 60 miles NE of her position. It is guessed Kaga will head for the size 4 port of Iwo Jima. SS Pargo is a further 240 miles east and is to also try to intercept.
This is the FIRST major IJN warship to be hit by a submarine. So far they have just performed well against the Merchant arm.
Interesting to see Kaga here though. I guess he suspects a Central Pacific attack now or was she moving down south or back to Japan...........
----------------
SS Drum also had success in heavily damaging AK Asosan Maru with 2 torpedo's 180 miles east of Tarakan.
SS Trout fired 4 fish at TK Akatuki Maru which failed to detonate.
SS Grampus was intercepted by a 4 ship ASW TF. They dropped DC's which caused little damage.
----------------
CVL Monterey arrives in 3 days time. I am going to try and send her at full speed to Midway to participate in Operation Falcon. She carries HELLCATS [8D]
WELL DONE SS BOWFIN AND HER CREW. MANY LOOSE WOMEN AWAIT YOUR RETURN.
