Carrier movements are pretty well reconstructed in campaign, like the BB's, very rare if they are randomly traveling about. On other hand Wake, Marcus, and Iwo airbases do have fighters in their air groups. They mainly spawn flying boats and Bettys but if you were detected and reported, they will dispatch Zeros or dive bombers to search for you.

I'm not sure of the date, probably last week of Jan '42. My patrol ended 2/15/42.


It's possible the Zekes came from Iwo. They could have been near the end of their patrol and about to turn back. Don't know why the AI would send them out on patrol that far from land.
