Night Attack by Robert Barbour (P)

HMS Storm carries out a night surface attack on a Japanese ammunition supply ship in the eastern Bay of Bengal. The ship and escort were passing through the Mergui Archipelago en route to Rangoon, and were eventually sunk by the submarines Oerlikon and 3-inch guns. The resulting explosions provided a spectacular fireworks display, visible and audible for many miles.
