Interesting message
Left Midway 12/31/42 to patrol area in Marshall Islands area.
Re-assigned to Gilbert Islands after fulfilling Marshall Islands patrol.
Re-assigned to Gilbert Islands (again with same specs)
Finished patrol and sent usual 1/17/43 0001Z status message.
Message recieved 1/17/43 0002Z (popup): "Message Briefing"
Checked radio log: "Message briefing" is all it said.
1/17/43 0007Z Message recieved: "RTB AT YOUR DISCRETION"
Well, there is no discretion doing an RTB with 13 of my torpedoes still onboard (nor any valor), so I continued patrolling northward along the Gilbert chain of islands. A day later I received a message to patrol a point midway between the Gilberts and Marshalls. That's more like it.
I was curious about the "Message briefing" message, however. Seems like a slight boo-boo somewhere.
