Sea of Japan / La Perouse Strait Orders?!?
Aack! July 1943 and I'm running TMO 1.5 / RSRD. Have a Balao out of Midway, just returned from war patrol 7, and my new orders are to penetrate into the SOJ via the La Perouse Strait, stay 7 days, then transit out and down the east coast of Japan. Whew! Going to spend that renown now and have a few at the O-Club, as you never know if you'll be coming home...
Seriously, I was somewhat surprised at the orders, since this was the orders for Wahoo's last patrol as I recall. Anyone have any tips / advice for this one? My orders mention mines but say Russian merchants seem to be transiting fine.
