Surabaja (Soerabaya) was used after the Philippines fell until Java also fell to the Japanese.

I just hope we can stop over at places like Midway or the other liberated islands as the war progress' to top off the fuel tanks if we have to make trans pacific crossings, or the patrol will be very short. Yep, got there. Saw the sights, and turned for home.
Me too. Midway, Guam, maybe a visit to the PT base at Tulagi in '42 or Rendova in '43-44.
