Well...it turned out to be a bust. The task force made it halfway between Pearl and the Gilbert Islands and took a turn to the southeast. I hung with it until we hit the equator, then made for Tokyo via Midway.
I can't complain too much though, as I ended up between two med sized convoys both travelling south about 15NM apart. I'd hit one, run away, surface, run to the other. I was only able to bag 4 merchants though....my aim sucks.
Anyways, I overstated the size of the American Task Force a bit. On final count it was 2 Tankers, 1 light crusier, 2 heavy crusiers, 7 destroyers, and the two Carriers.
And a pic of me sailing within the destroyer screen.
