[John Pancoast]

After two frustrating patrols where I saw nothing the entire 55 day first patrol, followed by a 30+ day patrol where I was constantly chased off a convoy finally resulting in serious depth charge damage and a limp home, on the this next patrol, I've managed to intercept a convoy where one of the escorts is on fire.

It sunk half hour after I contacted the convoy, so now I'm not going to wait any longer for BdU orders; I have the entire port beam of the convoy unprotected, an opportunity that can't be passed up.

Clear night/calm seas. Again.

Just got orders from BdU to shadow. Ha ! Not passing this fox/hen house chance up. Be Aggressive !
