flip a coin to decide whether to use rescue rafts or survivors and...."let it go, indiana".
The "fix" is in... hopefully, I didn't fall asleep and smack the keyboard, as below...

i took a look at CareerStart and Flotillas and i could not find a discrepancy with the various Hunters Point entries, which means that whatever is amiss is really subtle.
Looking into this later today... I'll get back with you all

Edit: Need some clarification here. The Fall of 1942 should be the Porpoise, and only the Porpoise at Hunter's Point. The Gar is only listed in the Test section for a 1945 test start.

flotillas has this entry for multiple flot/boats:

[Flotilla 3.UserPlayerUnitType 6.Objective 13]
ID= BR6Obj13
NameDisplayable= CAG Equator
AvailabilityInterval=1943-03-15, 1943-06-15
ObjectiveCode= CAG_Fife or CAG_FifeFre

but patrol objectives has an entirely different date range:

ID=ID551
FileName=data/Campaigns/Campaign/PatrolObjectives/CAG_Fife01/CAG_Fife01.mis
StartDate=19420101
EndDate=19420701

there are four Fife missions with this mismatch.

you may want to add this to gripe-list for next release.
Interesting... apparently someone fell asleep at the keyboard and did either a palm plant, or faceplant on the keyboard, and never finished their work...

Edit: That looks like the potato chip grease stained flying fat fingers of fickleness hit a "2" instead of a "3"... fixed for next version.

for hours, they just circled each other, independently, at low speed.
no formation, no apparent destination, just milled around.

Later today also, on the chase-down...

Edit: The group(s) are designed like that there... they are transferring reinforcements to shore... you were supposed to intercept them prior to that... - however, after a time, the one group will head south for southern Bougainville, and attempt to land more troops. If a 2nd group in there concurrently, then they will most likely head north - maybe... really BIG mistake with that assignment is that Biak is over by New Guinnea... That particular assignment should say "Buka"... It's close, with a "B", a "k", and an "a" in the name...
