BH,

Did you give any thought of adding a rearm/refuel stop at Johnston Island? I was reading that the USS Corvina SS-226 stopped there to refuel before heading on to Truk. She never made though, as she was sunk by I-176 the night of Nov 16, '43 while cruising on the surface.

Would be nice to have a refuel stop there.
