It's July/43 and I'm patrolling the Marshall Isl in a Balao class boat. RFB and RSRD used. My plan was to sail close to all the atolls hunting for supply ships transiting the islands. My efforts were not wasted. Nearly every atoll I visit has merchant shipping sitting at anchor in the bays. The problem is I can't get anywhere near these sitting ducks because of the subnets / reefs surrounding the area
The only luck I've had was a single freighter I cought while in transit. I thought about shelling them with the DG, and even read reports of such happenings. The problem is alot of these islands have fortified shore installations that could turn my boat into Swiss cheese
I could use a few ideas here. I must have passed up about 20k tons so far.
Yours truly,
Very Frustrated!
