I am on the 3rd mission of a career path, starting in March 1943 at Pearl Harbor, and have encountered a problem:

1) My first mission was to patrol the Marianas and take out enemy shipping. On reaching the orange star, near the Marianas, nothing happened: the star stayed orange and there was no confirmation that I had reached the area!

I managed to sink several ships and got back to Pearl safely, thus being awarded a medal and kudos, yet was given an "incomplete" for not getting to the Marianas.

2) Second mission to Palau: the orange star turned grey and I received a message saying "carry on": both phases of the mission were completed.

3) I have just reached the orange star in the Carolinas, after being instructed to patrol the area and destroy enemy shipping. On the way I encountered a small convoy, sunk a destroyer and large old passenger liner, got away from the other two escorting destroyers with no damage and reached the star: it hasn't turned grey and that part of the mission will now be recorded as incomplete.

So, what gives? Is it a mistake to sink ships on the way to the patrol area, or there something else going wrong? Two out of three missions have been rendered incomplete, and I'm in the dark as to how to make that orange star go grey.

Any advice gratefully accepted.
