Correct - after the patrol I was still based at Manus Island. That's when I re-requested the transfer to Saipan and got it. The very next mission was out of Saipan.
I did run that mission, and on the way back from the South China Sea had a very successful engagement in Leyte Gulf, during which the base changed from Saipan to Guam. We sank one heavy cruiser, damaged another, and then sank the Fuso. Added to that the enemy torpedos meant for me sank one of their own DD's. Good times for all!
