There was a refueling stop at Midway for most of the war. The Fremantle Boats had a fueling barge at Ex mouth Gulf a base was tried the and failed because of conditions. I also read a post about radar on marus, I don't know if Marus ever got radar, but in reading Blair's "Silent Victory" the Japanese did develop radar in the latter stages of the war, so Marus sailing with escorts would have some radar protections. I just read in the last two or three days one Sub Commander report a CV with a "Bed Spring Antenna on the Truck"
