I received the Archerfish patrol reports and put the two pages containing the attack report on line. I considered typing (well, pasting) it all in here, but I have enough experience with phorum software to know it probably won't format correctly, so I put the text document on my own site, where the columns will line up.

The torpedoes were fired at 8 second intervals except for number 6, which was fired after a 25 second interval. No. 4 & 5 were fired on a 111S track, 38R & 40R gyro angles, and #6 on a 124S track, 55R gyro angle. I'm really can't say if that constitutes a new setup, or just reflects the longer firing interval, as the TDC would continue to adjust the solution.
