[KaleunMarco]

Career Start December 1941 in Manila driving an S-18 class boat.

Late in 1943, while we temporarily based at one of the Marshall Islands we received the choice of staying with the S-boat or upgrading to a different class.

Since this installation of RFB 2.0 with RSRDC 5.75 has all boats classed the same, we received a Balao because it was the next boat in the list in the Flotillas file. Funny how things go sometimes.

I am making a long story longer…..my apologies.

The Balao has two conning towers available, the second of which had a date conflict which had to be fixed, and we were eligible to receive it after July 31, 1944.

Unfortunately, it took until late November to actually get it.

In the interim we had taken some damage on each mission while at the same time having great success sinking ships such that each of our missions between July and November resulted in a patrol grade of 3.

During the November mission we took some damage (again) and this time we got the conning tower upgrade. My apologies for not sharing the screen as I clicked through without capturing it.

And so, it continues to play out in the US Pacific portion of SH4 that a conning tower upgrade requires multiple missions with damage incurred and a mission rating greater than 1. It seems, and I stress seems, to take fewer missions if the mission ratings or 1 or 2 rather than threes.
