SHO Re: Demise of U.S.S. Sealion SS-195...

Ok, the sub I got assigned in the earlier post was a Sargo class sub, SS-195 U.S.S Sealion.

Loss was to a IJN Corvette Canamura(spelling??? can edit this info of ship's name & class, after I start a new career, will keep the dead officer career around..) not a destroyer, but I digress..

pumped 2 torps into it, both hit as the range was just inside the outer compass rose surrounding my sub... so about a range of 1k to 1.5k

Area of loss was off to the E side slightly of NE roughly , of Taipei, Formosa

Those 2 hits which I saw were direct dead on hits, massive explosion, yet... that ship like shrugged them off & swung about & destroyed me... despite my going deep to 300, depth below keel was 359, after I swung around to heading 270 from base course of 235-240 (may have been 240-245'ish...)

Had no chance to take a screenie of the ship, since i'm dead and I go by dead is dead & not going to reload that career...

What was that ship, the Superman of the IJN...???
