The game will tell you to patrol the Marshall Islands while there is no Japanese shipping there, I've encountered it as well. The roughly 10,000 tons of merchant shipping you have to sink do NOT have to be sunk near that objective, however. Since you've refit, I recommend going elsewhere for better hunting. You'll find some merchant traffic in between Guam and the islands southwest of there (I can't recall the name now, but it's a major Japanese stronghold), there's quite a lot of traffic in the East and South China Seas, or you could run down to the Solomon Islands and hunt down there. Pay attention to fuel; I got from Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal on 26% diesel yesterday, but I ran at Ahead 1/3 all the way and started staying submerged during the day once I got within 1000 miles of Rabaul. Down there, if fuel gets low, you can refit in Brisbane.
