Raid on Tenimbar ran into a hornet's nest of PT boats. I sank 12 but lost 3DDs. Several more were caught trying to escape and may sink over the next few days.
Allied subs sank 2 TKs and an AK.
Chungking is weird again. The weather cleared and I bombed the air field. Despite the fact that there are no flak guns I lost a Sally to flak and had others damaged. Also, the number of troops went up by 2,000 and the AV went up by 130.
