i had a similar mission just starting out; it was December 1941 and they wanted my ship to photograph two japanese carriers anchored in Manila Bay, about 20 km from the start point. im pretty sure the instructions said that i could engage them if the situation looked favorable, but when you get into range to take a picture, theres a sub net stretching ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE BAY! making it impossible to even get within range to fire a torp. two escort carriers, sitting there all alone and with no fires banked in the boilers....i hate this branch.
