MissionBriefing=COMSUBAF Operation Order 60-41. When in all respects ready for sea, proceed to Area B6 in the South China Sea and conduct patrol operations for twenty five days to monitor shipping in the area. Japanese have utilized Cam Rahn Bay, Indochina to support naval operations in the area and as such particular attention to that area should be paid during your patrol. Tensions with Japan remain high and as such all precautions to avoid provoking Japanese forces encountered should be taken. However, if attacked you may defend yourself accordingly.

I was only into the 2nd day of the patrol when the star went grey and log shows it completed.

Thanks. Will take care of that and clean the language up a little. Culprit is
probably a typo which set the objective complete to two days instead of twelve, easy to do. Orders say 25 das and player should stay for 25 but the objective will complete usually earlier so player gets renown in case cant stay on station for whatever reason. However, should stay in assigned area because as have mentioned in README etc, if have orders to a area in the mod, you are there for a reason, gives a high probability of encountering something big, even if area seems dead. Orders were carefully crafted in the revised campaign in this mod.
Example would getting orders to a area that seems to be void of merchant traffic and go 10-20,30 days on station with nothing then boom...run into a warship, a task fore, special convoy, or a enemy submarine*.
OF course there is a chance will miss the contact but I tailored orders so if player follows them have a high probability.
While there are random submarines roaming oceans, every submarine sunk by US submarines in the pacific was added to campaign using tabular record of movements. Others movements are reconstructed to a degree as well.
Enemy subs and warships when possible often used alternative routes to the merchant convoys.
