KHC Plays "Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific" - Ep. 26: "The Long Patrol"

After a month and a half overhaul of the USS Skipjack (SS-184), we return to sea on another war patrol...this time heading west to go up through the Sunda Strait to reach our deployment zone off Luzon. With the war now turning against the Japanese, we look to focus on strategic targets...namingly large warships like carriers, battleships, and cruisers.

I can’t recall the version of SH I played quite a while ago but the ship recognition manual had the vessel at various angles which helped with identification as well as heading. Is that still an option?

[@kneehighcaliber7724]

I wish it was cause that would help with non-straight on attacks.

Christmas Island *was* occupied by the Japanese - largely because of it's phosphate deposits. At dawn on 31 March 1942, a dozen Japanese bombers destroyed the radio station. The same day, a Japanese fleet arrived, and 850 men of the Japanese 21st and 24th Special Base Forces and 102nd Construction Unit came ashore at Flying Fish Cove and occupied the island. They rounded up the workforce, most of whom had fled to the jungle. Sabotaged equipment was repaired, and preparations were made to resume the mining and export of phosphate. 20 men from the 21st Special Base Force were left as a garrison. Isolated acts of sabotage and the torpedoing of the cargo ship Nissei Maru at the wharf on 17 November 1942 meant that only small amounts of phosphate were exported to Japan during the occupation. In November 1943, over 60% of the island's population were evacuated to Surabaya prison camps, leaving a population 500 Chinese and Malays and 15 Japanese to survive as best they could until 1945.
