Not so much of a question here as a running comment. I am trying to figure out how I'm going to sneak in to Manila bay to snap pictures of a Carrier task force without getting spotted. As we all know, that bay is big on area and small on deep water. Getting close to the harbor at night is a given, but at this date
(Mar '42), I don't know just how much the IJN has set up defences (Mines, Shore batteries ect) so this should turn out quite exciting.
I've got my fingers crossed....

The best thing you can do is to try to predict the escort's search pattern, after watching them for a while. Then plot some elaborate path to stay at their stern as much as possible, where their passive sonar is not as effective and active sonar is useless.

Just a Little hint the carrier;s are situated N and NNE way up top of the bay with subnets all over the place a there are a hell of a lot of escorts in that bay "but the mission is doable and the carriers can be sunk"
