Red has learned to be careful with his reports, so I guess he's OK now.
Red's just wishy washy, prone to mouth off, apoligize for no reason, then do it all over again, but I don't hold it against him.....too much.

Yes, Amistead, I certainly hope for imminent convoy action. I've just received some flash traffic about an expected 42 unit re-supply convoy that will be transiting Celebes ex Singapore in three days which is easily achievable, (currently north of Bali) so, wish me luck - I'll see if I can hit them as they come through Balabac Strait.
What technique do you use for long-distance detection? With this early war gear, do you find the quoted ranges (10,000 for WCA acoustic and 20,000 for SJ Radar) are accurate? (In SH III I would often get best results submerging and going Silent, all stop and listening hard to pick up screw sound well beyond horizon - but I suspect that was better gear than this.)
