We drew blood for the first time, ran into a enemy convoy off Saigon. One sub chaser and a Kuma cruiser with transports. We got two ships, medium and large composite freighters with a tally of about 4900 tons. I tried to get the Kuma but the torpedoes missed, also I did not suffer any failures with the fish, must've had a good batch. We were ordered to Java, the Japs are pushing on Manila, and we are now operating from some dump in the Dutch East Indies. Our next departure is Jan 12, 1942. I suspect we will find more targets, and maybe some very good ones.

Bad time for Kuma-class cruisers...
