I had to do a photo recon mission to Japan for my first career mission as well. (Photo recon at Yokohama...I was tempted to go to Tokyo. I was that close to it.) Horrible weather with waves, rain, fog, etc. which probably helped the approach some, but made it difficult to do the mission because I couldn't see anything until I was about 300 yards away from it.

The mission actually turned out to have a bonus connected to it: a Fuso battleship docked in Yokosuka. They'll probably be able to bring it up and repair it like the Americans did to most of the BB's at Pearl, but it was worth the fish I put into it to take it out of action for a little while.

For my first career, I was awarded the "USS Tresher" (the Thresher, but spelled wrong in game. LOL) but since I didn't know what I was doing with the new setup (played SH3 and have lurked here so far), I started a new career before I even did the first mission, where I was awarded command of the USS Trout. (The real Trout was presumed lost in April of '44, so I'm hoping to receive another boat before then. LOL)

I haven't had to drop off supplies or men yet, but I'm halfway expecting it. The mission briefing told me to prepare to deliver supplies, then they sent me to patrol the East China Sea again. We'll see what happens!
