Started a campaign with the S-boat out of Cavite.
Went north to Luzon to attack enemy "phibs" at Aparri.
Twenty or so miles out I came across what appeared to be a single destroyer.
It was broad daylight around noon. What I should have done (this is after all TMO) was to dive the boat. But nooooooo.... dummy here wanted to look around a bit then dive.
Of course he saw me. As the scope went under he was coming right for me with a bone in his teeth.
Turns out he had friends. Five of them to be exact.
Five hours later (all run at normal time, no time skip) I managed to get away.
Counted over 400 charges dropped.
As they left the area I went to periscope depth to watch them leave.
Boy was I surprised to see TWELVE destroyers leaving. I guess as the cans ran out of depth charges they had called in reinforcements.
Needless to say with a damaged boat , I never made it to Aparri. Currently limping back to Cavite.
It is good to be home in TMO.
