Began new campaign at Manila in the S-35 on December 9th.

Noticed that Glynn Summers (O2), Bruce Rosencrans (02) and Blish Greco (01) were all wearing the collar insignia of O3. As I always like my officers to wear long sleeve shirts with proper insignias at all time (like crew to look sharp since my service on the USS Caine), I fixed this and corrected the insignias in ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file.

Was ordered to patrol Verde Bay and Verde Is. area. December 12th, while on station at 3 pm and 5 pm, I was on surface (I know, I know) and was attacked by single Kawanishi H6K Type 97 Large Flying Boat on both occasions. Went to battle stations, manned Ma Deuce and told Petty Officer 2nd class Ian Callaghan, manning the AA gun to fire at will. The first aeroplane made a strafing run and then a bombing run with a near miss, no damage to boat in either case. The second aeroplane made his bombing run and then his strafing run, again with a near miss and no damage. In both cases Callaghan got hits on aeroplanes and both left on fire.

So, it would seem that some planes do sometimes see boats.
