Question about a assignment out on Midway in 1943
Afternoon Captains:
I was assigned to patrol off of Ocean Island and look for enemy activity. I received a "Shell s/e ocean island and vessels" after I completed a five-day patrol of the area. The "Engage Target" symbol appeared. I SHELLED AND SHELLED AND SHELLED! Nothing. I never saw a target symbol in the Scope or deck gun. I was finally driven off by a patrol plane that caused some damage, but I was able to return to midway. Date was 04/18/1943. Anyway just wondering about it
Thanks, Capt RAP
