Bourbon & Guinness on the way

I will tip one with you. As far as location, I was traveling in the North Pacific halfway between Pearl and Sitka. There were no islands visible when I zoomed in. So I am suspecting that the carrier was traveling generally in the west northwest direction at double my speed, while sending the aircraft out on patrols. I should have turned south got out of their way and then on the surface do an end around to ambush the suspected carrier.

Had only time for a quick mission last night, picked Midway after watching what the lowly Porpoise had to put up with on the History Channel. No Porpoise or Salmon or a meager Gar, just a pimped up RockRobins Balao.
Results: Winged a couple IJN fleet flatops and sent two Kongo class BB's to Davey Jones's locker.
Interesting Highlight was while at 450 feet avoiding 6 destroyer escorts, saw a carrier push a destroyer out of the way, strange no damage to either.

Best Regards
Obid
