Johnstone Atoll and Exmouth Gulf appeared on my map during my last patrol, Sept 1, 1942. I haven't seen Milne yet. Johnstone seems wierd to me; it's so close to both Pearl and Midway I don't really see the point. Exmouth does keep south Pacific boats from having to head all the way around to Fremantle, but if I was near Japan then Midway would be closer than Johnstone.
