6 boats on patrol
10 boats in transit
3 boats returning to base
5 boats in bases
5 boats in repair
Torpedo investigation shown drastic numbers: 70% of all torpedo attacks, missed the target!
This numbers showing definitely problem with torpedos. Bad attack position, wrong calculation, wrong torpedo setting and malfunction, without doubt have some procentage in this calculation, but there must be a other, concealed problem. Raport was send to High Navy Command, with request to re-test torpedo effectiveness.
Single score this week, belong to S-47. Patrolling South Chine Sea, she sunk medium 3000 tons merchant, from small convoy.
After more then two months in repair, S-28 return to service. She was damaged and forced to dive by destroyer, when gun attacked big 9000 tons supply ship.
This week total: 1 ships sunk, 3000 tons
