Anyway, just completed a pre-war mission and have stopped just outside the mine free zone off Corregidor. What escort ship will come out to lead me through them. The only ship I see is a MTB that is just doing his own thing.



I can see the mines in the TBT, but I really don't want to try. I can't end my patrol 'cuz Corregidor is only rearm/refuel.

Yep, common mistake, thinking going 0.5-1 kt will lessen chances of detection.Makes sense but not how it works.

Follow the PT boat, that is your escort. If I recall minefield is active July 1941. PT boat will go through the gap in the minefield, follow it.
