Gonna have to learn my history..

I transfer to Pearl for a new boat in time for the battle of Midway. Couldn't find the JP fleet this time, so I haul arse to where I think it will be on June 6. About 350 WSW of Midway, I get a contact...well lag, so check sonar and whoaaa. I have contacts and cams off this patrol.

I spend some time until I can make out some ships, can't ID..through the fog I make out a carrier headed east about 14nm's away. Spend a good hour until I ID a DD....Somers DD....Crap.

The carrier was a Wasp class...So which US carrier went chasing the JP fleet that far. I guess it's possible as I know they sent planes after what they thought was a BB headed to Wake day after Midway battle.

Should've known better, but don't remember the carriers chasing them that far.
