it was fortuitous that you were in the general vicinity.
hopefully you were not operating under Vietnam-era ROE where you had to wait to be attacked before you could counter-attack. (stupid ROE)

This led to the greatest salvo of my career when we upped scope in the middle of the TF, fired four torpedoes, and scored eight hits. The DDs threw all caution to the wind, firing torpedoes that missed us but hit one DD, one CV, and the Nagato twice. Despite the Type 93's fearsome reputation, not a single ship sank however.

so the Type 93 can decimate US ships but not Japanese ships?

sounds like treachery to me!
