The remaining JTF are retreating back up the slot. Also watch out for planes, during the day a lot of US and some jap planes show up and if you're using TMO...as u know jap planes will get you deep.
Dang it...I started this career in '43. So I've missed these surface battles. But I may well restart my career...beginning earlier. I've never seen a surface battle in my careers and it sounds interesting and exciting. Better than hunting single merchants.

Also, my realism settings are more difficult than ever, for the first time I have to worry about limited fuel, etc. In a way I like the realism of it but then It means that I cannot stray from my objectives, to explore the map or whatever. I had to leave the Sulu sea before my objective was complete...just to fuel up, then go all the way back to finish things.

Anywho...thanks for the intel. It'll make things more exciting in my careers.
