Found this task force with Yamato on date shown. It was about 190 miles NW of Rabaul and heading NW. A large screen of destroyers plus cruisers, seaplane tenders, other huge battleships. I let go with 5 torpedos at about 750-800 range, and had 2 duds. Three stuck home and she was dead in the water but no apparent damage. The task force continued on and she stayed put. After loading the last torpedos in the stern, I lauched 3 more until she sunk. Funny thing, the sailors on deck were doing calestetics (sp) or some foolish thing like that. Enclosed are some photos. I hope. Still new to posting pics and all to this board. Go get "em
