Hallo TW,

paar Ergänzungen zu dem o.g. Datensatz:

3 November 1944:
Off San Bernardino Strait, Philippines. I-41's lookouts sight the carriers of TG 38.3. A 2330 (local), LtCdr Kondo sets up and fires a salvo of Type 95 torpedoes. Two hit the light cruiser USS RENO (CL-96) in the port side at 13-46N, 131-27E. One torpedo, lodged in the cruiser's hull, does not explode. RENO goes dead in the water and takes on a 16-degree list, but is later pumped out and towed by tug USS ZUNI (ATF-95) 700 miles to Ulithi for temporary repairs.

LtCdr Kondo reports sinking an ESSEX-class carrier. A Yokosuka P1Y1 Ginga ("Frances") attack bomber of the 763rd Naval Air Group based at Clark Field "confirms" I-41's claim. Kondo receives a special citation from the Emperor.
