So last night I after attacking this carrier group and sinking 3 carriers near the Southern Tip of the Philippines near the Celebes Sea (just north of Morotai Island. The TF was heading WSW when I encountered them.

After the encounter and I escaped the escorts my sub is out of torpedoes and I set sail to head back to base in Java sub base. So I break away north a set course through the Celebes Sea and I am going to head back through the Strait of Macassar.

I spend the day playing bobber games with the remain plains from the last two carriers in the TF. Obviously the game still is tracking the TF south of my position continuing to head WSW direction. I seem to be paralleling their track my the flight paths of the planes.

Anyone at night fall when running on the surface I finally make it past the island of Indonesia and head south through the Strait of Macassar. That is where I run smack back into the TF that I encounter 100 of miles away in Morotai.

WTF? My path that I took traveling from east to west was about 2 degrees north and just about less than 50 miles north of the island of Indonesia. There is no possible way that that TF was in the waters between me and the island.

I was assuming they were traveling south of the peninsula in either the Molucca Sea or the Gulf of Tomini.

So what gives have the Japanese developed new amphibious atv versions of all their ships. Because that is the only way they are in these waters with me.
