Default Rabaul Photo recon

2nd attempt at getting those photos actually worked. Large slow convoy came pouring around the point.... followed it in below the thermal. Took photos of anchored CV's (one damaged and smoking from airstrikes....) around 6000yds. After convoy slipped by and things calmed down, came off the bottom to decks awash (2am) and closed with undamaged CV.....figuring would take the shot at 2000yds. Came to a grinding halt at 3500yds....torpedo net. Backed off, reversed course and went out to Bismark Sea. Figure to ambush inbound convoys....or wait until Shokaku comes out to play
