[WIP] Japanese Campaign

[keltos01]

Not about the everyday bordom of the ones that were not in the fight today, or the sub that fired ten torpedos and hit nothing. So that is the main reason we are not doing only supply missions. Who knows how many Japanese subs there were that never came back, so no one to tell the story. Who knows for sure how many torpedos were fired at US Carriers that nobody even knows about.
War was hell, some stories we know about, some we don't since nobody survived to tell us what happened.

About the day-to-day boring missions read the account of an IJN submarine skipper who survived : Zenji Orita. He changed subs a few times, did the supply runs, fired Kaitens... a must read !

read I-Boat Captain by Zenji Orita and Joseph D. Harrington, 1976.
