Just run into not 1, but 2 subs... NE of Saigon. Am working to finish off a 10 day patrol there, 1st patrol thus far.
1 was a Jyunsen Type B, the other a Kai?? something type IV... was able to sneak attack the Jyunsen, with no difficulty... though I think they managed to get off a cry for assist. Cause that other 1, which I did know was about, of all things... came nosing in, & did manage to get off a couple of DG shots at Me...
Managed to get under & moved off from where I went under. Got them, with them close in, yet not so close as for the torp to not have time to arm.
After all was said & done... scratch 2 IJN subs.
Do have to say, that was mighty strange, coming across 2 enemy subs, traveling together.. or as far as I know of, traveling together, that is...
or maybe not, when you look at the Uboat tactics... & the IJN was their allied partners in crime, so to speak...
