I used Milton Shupe's superb Lockheed PV-2 "Harpoon" for this 1000+ nm flight. During WWII in the Pacific, the Navy used these from forward island airstrips as they were defended/held or captured by amphibious assault by Marines in some pretty gruesome warfare.
They conducted surface search, anti-sub patrol and anti-shipping missions against Japanese merchant ships, subs and troop transports. They carried bombs, rockets, depth charges and had cannon in the nose as well. With drop tanks they had a range of about seven hours at 210 kts TAS at 14500 ft, according to my data.
The Harpoon was derived from the well known "Ventura", but a much more capable airplane
