The Gone Asiatic mod is for Asiatic careers, not an actual mission but starts with the player having to fight his way out of Manila against a Japanese invasion then carry out whatever mission was assigned. The mod includes two "secret" resupply bases at Luzon and east of the Celebes Sea so you can restock and refuel after fighting your way out to sea.

The actual Osaka photo recon mission is one of the Pearl Harbor career missions, best I remember - my point was it's been many years since I quit doing Pearl Harbor careers and "went Asiatic", all my career starts now are Asiatic Fleet Porpoise or Sargo so it's hard to remember for sure which mission from Pearl assigns Osaka. Whatever mission I have, with the Spectre 42 resupply base in the islands in Luzon Straits I can go to Osaka and Kobe after completing the main mission if I want.

So you basically just float around out there in your own "commandeered" sub doing whatever you please with no regard for your superiors or what new orders they may have for you.
Shame, shame. Were do I sign up....
