US-Bases on Emiraua Island 1944

I took my weapon armed Wildcat out hunting IJN today. a line of thunderstorms North and West of Emirau hampered my efforts. Anyone have better luck?
 
No! I had my tubby and reilable F4F out there too last night and nearly strafed my own side's ships thinking they were the enemy (NW of the island but close in)! No sign of them NW of the island about 50 miles out.

Got 'em!
After departing Emirau to the North, I joined up with the U.S.S. Hornet's tack force and brought my F6F-5 aboard to refuel and rearm.Of course I was flying VF-17s Hellcat #35 actually based aboard the Hornet.
After launching from the Hornet, I headed North at angels 5 and found the Japanese Submarine a short time later. I laid 2 500 pounders close aboard and finished her with a rocket run.
A quick return to the Hornet had me back aboard in time for dinner.
