How long is too long?
I've had a thing for Guadalcanal ever since 'Hellcats over the Pacific,' so I've spent my current patrol in those waters, starting with Savo Island. I've been out now about 2 months, and I'd prefer to stick around through mid November (left Pearl Jul 15 '42). Other than 39% hull damage from some silly mistakes, it seems I can get all the torpedoes, fuel, and crew fatigue resets from Tulagi. Is there any real reason to limit my patrol to under 4 months? 2 weeks of shore leave was a lot more enticing when it was in Hawai'i, not so much Midway.
