Turn 11: Four boats - two kills

1 - 8 July 1932

4 boats on patrol
7 boats in transit
7 boats returning to base
6 boats in bases
5 boats in repair

   With only four submarines on patrol this week, two made a score. S-44 during quick hit-and-run attack, sunk medium 3000 tons ship. Near Marianas S-34 sunk big 5000 tons merchant, in first salvo.
   This week also S-19, moderate damaged on patrol and S-48 with lightly damaged, left the docks. Fully repaired, both returned active service.
   Another three boats moored in Pearl Harbour this week, to reinforce our submarine fleet on Pacific. Argonaut, S-45 and S-46 after refuelling,  are reassigned to Philippines base in Manila.

This week total: 2 ships sunk, 8000 tons
