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. |
