Cruise the coast off Japan (say 40-50 NM) and you'll see PLENTY of stuff, no matter what version you are running.
I pretty much ignore my patrol zone orders (just get them out of the way then don't report in) and then track the nearest shipping lane on a 2/3 speed zig zag course all the way back to Nihon.
I don't like task forces-too many DD's! That's what the USN Fast Carrier Task Forces are for-my job is to sink merchants and bring the ship home safely.
