If you arrange a second patrol out of Manila you'll probably get a patrol zone for the Lingayen 2 invasion group. The same for the large Java, out of Sura you usually get a patrol zone for it in 3 different places based on time. They're many others, two notable ones are you'll get a patrol zone for the Yamato's last voyage and another for the Shinano. Most of Lurkers patrol zones are connected to such, not the convoy files.

Thats cool and I've looked at it all in the ME, TF, convoys, singles etc BUT considering the main mission of US subs was to sink Japanese merchant shipping, it's a bit much to be assigned repeatedly to areas devoid of convoy and merchant traffic.Eventually I will add some convoys to run from Singapore to Japan via South China Sea, Luzon Strait(Convoy College) and up the east side of Ryuku Islands as well convoys running from Japan to Singapore the same route, was a very busy route most of the war and basically empty esp when it comes to convoys.
