LukeFF: I appreciate the information for the RFB boat - most helpful for those using that mod. For those inmersed in the TMO/RSRD mods there still remain questions regarding range. We'll have to see how it works out as people try to complete assigned patrols, using a speed setting of 9 to 10 knts, as time moves along.
Webster: to some extent I agree with you and I need to explore my references to see what I can find, but I do suspect that while COMSUBPAC tried to set SOP for subs, the commander on site had to modify those as he wanted/needed to. That ability - to individually alter SOP - is what was so clearly an advantage for the US in the Pacific theater. Well, indivudual initiative was/is the same powerful advantage for the US military even as we speak.
