AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/10/41 Boise, Houston, Marblehead and some of DDs were sunk in Kendari and Haguro was the price for the victory. Also Myoko was heavy damaged(sys 71), Nachi was lightly damaged(sys 21). They all need some repair and have to quit the DEA campaign. This surface combat made the Combined fleet HQ re-evaluate the surface combat. Some changes have to done before the next engage. The most important point is that the capability of IJ warships drops so more ships should be kept together to avoid further loss. Bitter loss. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Time Surface Combat, near Kendari at 33,71 Japanese Ships PG Idzumo, Shell hits 4 PG Iwate PG Hakkai Maru, Shell hits 7 PG Nishho Maru, Shell hits 3, on fire PG Seikyo Maru.
