@ Mad Mardigan: Are you reasonably certain of the assignment date being 19420124? aka: 24 January, 1942? Does the green circle in my screen grab above reasonably well reflect where your patrol circle was?
Thanks fellows...

Ahoy, propbeanie...
Yeah, am definitely certain on the dates... I went back into the game, looked at the list, as I use the following format to carbon date stamp the saves as I roll on them.:
M1-A P-2 24/01/42 22:30 hrs
M1-A, refers to My guy I name, at the start of a career...
P-2 (or any other #) refers to what patrol I am on with said guy...
For date in game.... I go with the format that was used back then, from what I know of it... day, month followed by year.. last 2 digits.
Time stamp, is done up in the military tradition... 22 hundred 30 hours...
When I initially reported, I kinda.. was in a hurry, as I was wanting to get that reported so I could then hit the rack & sack out.. aka meaning I was in a hurry so I could report it & grab some sleep...
by the time I realized My snafu... was too late to edit it to correctly reflect the right date, in game... you had done grabbed the info & ran with it...
As for the date... Yes.. I am now dead certain.. left base on the 15th... rolled into Basilan on the 17th, after hot footing it from Surabaya to Manila(where I dropped off supplies/picked up those pesky hitch hikers...
) , then to Basilan, did a 6 day patrol there... successfully.. all circles for Manila/Basilan showed up as they should... & changed from green to red. Left Basilan passage & sedately cruised from there to Sibutu passage at 3rd speed... standard, if I am recalling that rightly.. about a day to cruise from there to Sibutu... where I started the 6 day patrol of Sibutu on the morning of the 24th.... of January, 42...
As for the circle & it's location in your snapshot.. Yes, it matches up with what I have there on the Nav map, for Myself...
It is NOW... the 31st, of January.. & have not gotten the all clear bell, for completing that objective...
On a side note.. am about ready to hot foot it back to Surabaya, resupply before they demolish the base... & see of going back to Sibutu.. to see if that doesn't clean the clock on it... so I can phone home & either get another objective to go to... or get told to head back to base.
