Any reason to keep ACM's in the WC ports? Chances seem pretty good those mines will never come into play.

Of course there is a reason to, they can maintain the minefields. And you need the minefields to avoid Japanese submarines to come over there to your West cost and lay mines in every one of your ports.

Ialways tried to keep my minefields up. They are too valuable to let them erode. Even just 1 ACM can mantain a good ratio mantaining huge minefields of 300-400 mines.

ditto , careless japanese can be lured in as already stated .. also you can never lay enough minefields to use them elsewhere so why not.

hm, why do I feel strongly remembered to a restroom (WC or 00 in Germany), when I read this?
