Well I dont really know what to say this dawg just dont stay down !!! In he comes again this time BB's and a light surface TF. The light Surface TF got caught up sinking 2 DD's of mine and didnt clear out the PT Boats His BB TF came in with my PT Boats intact and it cost him 2 DD's but they did their job and screened the heavies. The new Higgins or Elco PT Boats did their job though. I am going to have to adjust my screening elements again !!! he just will not accept that these little raids are counter productive. Which of course means they are not as I will have to react !!!! He wins this time I will react and commit more to protecting bases I could just ignore it but I choose not to this time AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 04/18/44
