Well, unfortunately, the Save most likely will no longer have the information, since it would have to have been one from inside the base, either after the CTD when clicking on the map, or the upon returning to base, when you dock. Those are over-written each time in and out... I'll just keep digging in the Sargo assignments for the time frame. Thanks for the help though!

as it happens we were only a few hours away when the radio message came through and we are sitting on top of the lifepreserver icon but there is no coastwatcher. i suspect that it will appear as a "survivor", no?

anyway, when does that thing we are supposed to rescue show up?
Did you happen to get a "if they don't show up, try again in 24 hours" kind of message, something to that effect? If so, then they might not show at all. Generally speaking, in most of the missions of this type in FotRSU, there is a "trigger" used that when your submarine passes a certain point, it will spawn the "target" subject. To change things up a bit, you might be instructed to withdraw to the east, or some other direction, so that you do hit a trigger area, that is then far enough away from the pickup location for the 'target" to spawn. But not always. There are a couple of missions where you will not get anyone to pickup, which is what happened in real life, in spite of there having been multiple attempts at rendezvous.

Now for a very small thing ... an Armed Dahatsu 25mm (I think, because the picture in the manual doesn't show AA guns).

Anyway I could see 3 crewmen, one each on the two AA guns, and the "driver" for want of a more technical term. Then I saw a fourth crewman, walking behind the boat. I thought it might be the Japanese version of Jesus! As I watched, he strolled out on the water about a boat length or a little more, then turned and went back to the boat and stood beside the "driver" for a few seconds, then walked back out on the water. Kind of comical to watch, but I don't think it was what you intended...
That was actually a fellow by the name of Peter that you saw out behind the Daihatsu. The wonder of it all is that I just saw that the day before, and s7rikeback saw it earlier today, and he already has the "fix" for that already in. Thank you for that report, and thanks for the praise...
