This urgent message is coming to you from the first officer aboard the USS Galot. Our captain has just revealed to us that he took a few years off being a sub captain and doesn't remember much about it. Further, he knocked our real captain out in a bar fight and came aboard during our last refit as "the new skipper" after stealing our real captain's uniform. I should have suspected something when I noticed the strain on his jacket buttons....

Nevertheless we are in real trouble and need your help.

We have been assigned to photograph the carrier force in Rabaul harbor. There are four patrol ships in the deep water outside the harbor and we must get past them in order to get in position to take photos. It's currently daytime in calm water.

Our plan has been to troll at max depth at 1 knot until night fall to surface decks awash and try to sneak closer. The problem is, this works well for quite a while but eventually we always get caught by the patrol vessels with the same glug glug boom boom result.

Reality is set to Hard. No mods.

1.) How can we remain undetected by the patrols until nightfall?

2.) After nightfall, is it safe to come to decks awash within a certain distance of the patrol boats?

It seems like it will be nearly impossible to sneak past all of these ships and get this mission done. Please help!
