In addition to the advice from Moltrey and RJ, keep in mind that detection level is the key to any intercept. The higher the DL, the better the chances of an effective intercept. Since the DL is reset at the beginning of every 12 hour phase, you need to have night search and contact with your TFs to get a morning intercept and effective day search or chance meeting to increase the DL for the day naval phase. US torpedoes don't work well in 1942, but their periscopes and radars can do good work locating enemy TFs.

Ah, that is a crucial part I missed there BB. Indeed, it is actually one of the elements you can have control over and as you say, makes a huge difference in whether your boys find the enemy or open seas. Thanks!
