The ships you have to sink are different every time, but fortunately even your submarine can outrun them, so they should be a no-factor. What should be on the forefront of everyone's mind is the destroyer - the ''Yuguri'' - which quickly approaches you to try and hit you with depth charges. Perform the head-on attack against it (this is the best place to practice the head-on attack) to sink the warship. Otherwise crash-dive to depth level 4 and try smacking it with your rear torpedo tubes if you can (doing so entails a LOT of damage from the destroyer's depth charges) | |||
[[ Image:BSM CCargo TorpedoMiss.PNG|left|thumb|This is what happens 80% of the time when you try the head-on attack. Note the missed torpedo in the distance.]] | |||
Once the destroyer is dealt with, raise your periscope and look around. The computer will notify you once you've spotted a mission critical target and it will remain under a gold objective bracket for the duration of the mission. | Once the destroyer is dealt with, raise your periscope and look around.

Once you're in position, fall in trail with the two cruisers. They are positioned in front of the ship, and the heavy cruiser is a larger easier target and is in front, so head for that one first. It takes all four torpedoes to send it down. It will speed up once it spots your torpedoes coming, so fire as close as you can. Also watch for another destroyer - use the tactical map to keep track of enemy movements. | Once you're in position, fall in trail with the two cruisers.

Sailing along the port side of the convoy is the light cruiser ''Kitakami''. It takes about three or four torpedo hits to sink the light cruiser. Once this ship is done, smack the destroyer behind you with your rear torpedo launchers before surfacing for some air. | Sailing along the port side of the convoy is the light cruiser ''Kitakami''.

Use the merchant ships as cover to hide from the enemy warships, if they're still around. The enemy destroyers in particular have to get on top of you, and you can sail under a cargo ship and force the enemy to come about and take the long way. | Use the merchant ships as cover to hide from the enemy warships, if they're still around.

The mission ends when the two cargo ships are sunk, but if you want the secret objective, you have to sink the whole convoy. Unfortunately, you don't have enough torpedoes to sink everything. Unfortunately, therefore, you must rely on your deck gun. Aim for the cargo containers and do your best to arc shots on top of them to send them to the bottom. Your machine gun can try and take potshots against the enemy PT boats, but ultimately it won't do much. | The mission ends when the two cargo ships are sunk, but if you want the secret objective, you have to sink the whole convoy.
