Always try to get guys with 55+ Naval and 55+ Aggressiveness. Sub commanders with aggressiveness in 20's are pretty much useless.

It is easy to do when you set up SS TF. I use exclusively "Patrol around target"-button. Lot easier if not into total micromanagement...

Even with 80% dud rate, you tend to get lot of hits with good commanders. Brits and Dutch obviously have dud rate of 10% from start.

Some interesting things:

CV Akagi, that I though I had sunk month ago reappeared...dammit.

And Allies had 2 indecisive CV vs CV battles near Port Moresby. Basically minor damage and decimated both sides carrier planes.

CV Hornet has arrived, but I have chronic lack of destroyers to escort her and heavy units to PH from Balboa.
