I can add my recommendation for TMO/RSRD. Just spent a glorious cruise in The Slot during the Guadacanal/Coral Sea battles.

Intercepting the intial cargo-ship resupply sorties (still moving at 20+ knots!), Battlecruiser sorties (scratch one IJN BC and a Chitose seaplane carrier), the impossibly intimidating destroyer resupply sorties (think 15 destroyers doing 28kts in line-astern) and finally I caught a BB group trying to recover to Truk (added a Kongo and escort DD).

All the while this was going on I was getting flash traffic messages that meshed with what I was encountering. Unfortunately it all occurred during massive swells which made periscope ops bloody challenging...
