Early in the war, if you start a career from Manila (pick a Sargo boat), there are several task forces off Manila, and in the straits between Borneo and Celebes.

In my second career, I was sent north from Manila, and wasn't 3 days out of port on my first patrol before I ran into a Kongo-centered task force (literally nearly ran into it as it come heading southbound straight at me).

Some months later, I ran into a heavy cruiser force between Wake Is. and Midway.
