Near the end of my last campaign game, the submarine Scamp was forced to the surface after being depth-charged. Under fire, she proceeded to torpedo three transport ships in the troop convoy and pumped some shells into the accompanying escorts. The Daimei Maru later sank. Scamp somehow broke away from the Es and was still limping towards home when the game ended. There was a similar incidence in the war when the submarine Salmon fended off two Kaibōkan after a forced surface duel and escaped in a rain squall.
