Well what a turn looks like my troops got ashore in one piece. I sent one of my TF's north and if you dont concentrate CAP you do run a risk.

Hydra goes forward I will check out level of disruption tomorrow and see whether an attack is warranted AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 02/27/44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 1007 encounters mine field at Sarmi (48,78) Allied Ships DE William C.
