Fate of the American Convoy?
Seeing as it's the catalyst for pretty much everything that happens in the movie, it's a bit odd we never find out what happens to it.
The way I see it, The team failed to send the fake message, so the Japanese wouldn't be diverted away from the fleet. At the same time though the transmitter was destroyed so the base couldn't direct them to the fleet.
HOWEVER contrary to what the British believed, the Japanese -did- have a recon plane presence in the area, so wouldn't that mean that a) they'd know about the fleet anyway b) they'd know before they even were sighted by the port up north, and c) the ENTIRE commando mission was a waste of time?
Bit confused here.
