TO                COMSUBPAC, COMSUBASIATIC,

FROM         COMSUBRON 10 A

SUBJECT    MAY 01 - 2 REPORT.

                    FEBRUARY 1943 -MARCH 1943

FOUR OF THE BOATS USE MANUAL TDC, SS-199 (USS TAUTOG), SS-154 (S-43), SS-142 (S-37) AND SS-158 (S-47) ALL OTHER BOATS USE AUTO-TDC.

BECAUSE OF OUR HIGH NUMBER OF BOATS, THE PRESENCE OF ENEMY SUBS IN THE AREA AND LIMITED PATROL AREA WE CYCLED THE BOATS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ZONES. HALF OF THE BOATS SAILED IN EARLY DECEMBER THE OTHERS SAILED IN EARLY JANUARY.

ALL BOATS OPERATED IN THE SOLOMONS WITH A ZONE ASSIGNED FROM THE SOLOMONS CHART AS INDICATED.

TORPEDO'S ARE STILL A PROBLEM.
