Stock game you get orders to "engage and destroy enemy merchants in Celebes" it really pays zero attention to where you actually sink the ships, you can sail off to Tokyo Bay to get the required tonnage and it still qualifies as mission accomplished. Historically it's cheating, but what I do for that mission is exit the Celebes Sea to the east, then follow the east coast of Luzon north to Luzon Straits. There's a lot of unescorted freighters cruising up and down the east coast of Luzon.
