So, yeah, i was pretty happy about that, until i shoved off and got my mission orders. A photo recon.. No biggie i think... changed my mind about how easy this might be after i started plotting my course, it appears im going to Japan.:
Did i mention that im allergic to mines?! They may as well have sent me into the Emperor's wading pool! Orders are orders, but i swear, i think some bad karama from harbor raiding in the carribean followed me from SH3. At least the approach has a channel of deeper water, but i expect this is going to be tantamount to passing through Gibralter.
