Agreed

Been there twice in SHIV,once assigned patrol assignment in 1942. 6th or 7th patrol out of Brisbane. Nothing but fisherman,I did take fire from a shore battery,but no war ships at Moan,& no harbor facilities yet? Nice detailed map,Quite accurate.
Would expect some action there in 1944 big naval hideout,before Carrier air raid attack. I used south pass in one of my many infiltrations in SHI,It was a good, harbor raid.As many as 5DDs patrolling Atoll area. many large warship @ anchor. SHIV unknown?
