Awesome, I ask for tips and I get 3 chuckleheads who don't realize by the time you're on station in the Marshalls its roughly December 18th.

Anyone out there with a clue, I've tried in between Guam and Truk with no sightings other than US traffic, no sightings of the invasion fleet at Wake, etc. I ended up eliminating some undefended merchant traffic tied up in the harbor at Saipan.

No offence intended, I actually thought the date was a typo.

If you're running the game stock (i.e. out of the box, no mods) you're probably going to be frustrated and annoyed with the "historical" aspects of the game. The locations of enemy ships and their routes is poorly done.
I highly recommend you grab either the TMO or RFB mod in conjunction with RSRD. It strives for more historical accuracy with regard to shipping lanes among other things.

This is good advice. In addition, here's a short post on how RSRDC can be advantageous... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=146177

When you read the above thread, you'll know why I'm giving you this link showing a list of historical naval battles.... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133064 Print this list out, it will be invaluble when using RSRDC.... Good Luck!
