1 - 7 June 1932
9 boats on patrol
4 boats in transit
7 boats returning to base
5 boats in bases
2 boats in repair
This week five new submarines arrived from East Coast to Pearl Harbour, with massive Leviathan - submarine cruiser. This heavy armoured ship, equiped with four 8" guns, hopefully can change the bad name of submarine force.
S-34 sunk small 1000 tons maru. Last patrol hero, S-32, wasn't so lucky this time. Her attack hitted two ships, but only damaging 3000 tons merchant, and dud torpedo refused to explode on impact with another 3000 tons maru.
Spotted by enemy before, S-31 patrol area was avoided by enemy. She only damaged in gun attack lone 1000 tons ship. S-18 heavy damaged by plane, aborted to base.
This week total: 1 ship sunk, 1000 tons
