Negative, sir! Transfers make for some nasty planning inertia...uh...unusual mission choices, sir. Our current assignment is agent insertion off Manila, despite being transferred to Midway after that long, dry run on the last patrol. Ours not to reason why, sir...

We were on the surface when the contact appeared from the NE/ENE.

Edited to add: the Manila agent mission CTDed 20km from the drop zone as we sat dead in the water waiting for night. We'd just detected a nearby fishing boat and an incoming plane from the S. I heard the engine while using the cam to check out the fishing boat details, then went back to the control room and set TC to 30.
