our carriers finally reached the fleeing enemy TF that was heading full speed North. Nice encounter in the Indian ocean and itīs a JACKPOT!  As we more or less expected, Miller was trying to bring ground troops (an Indian division) from Karachi to Australia. When our Glen spotted his TF he immedietely turned it around but our carriers were fast enough to catch it. Iīm not that exited by the damage done so far but this is just the first of the morning strikes. A single torp hit on an Allied AK means nothing and Miller will surely scatter the TF tomorrow...

one bigger strike on the enemy convoy and I guess 85% of the enemy TF was either sunk or in sinking condition at that time. The Indian division is probably down to only 30% of itīs strenght or even less. We will continue to attack the rest of the TF in the next days, if I would be Miller I would try to send half of the ships North, the others East or if not heavily damaged South. That way he would be surely able to save at least parts of his division. Would be an excellent week if we could destroy a whole Indian division while being embarked on ships.
As is known anyway, we did not score a single point for enemy ground losses for the losses within the Indian division.
