14-16 June 1944 Troops will depart next turn for the Sabang/Babo Invasions. Units assembling for the Sorong Operation. Things of note in three days: 14th - nothing. Amzingly quick combat resolution 15th * SS Spirit torpedoes and sinks a TK between Batavia and Kuching * LBA out of Padang hits the same TF in the day putting 6 bombs into one TK and one each in two more. The more severely damaged one sinks on the 16th. This TF is hiding under bad weather at Batavia at present. That's three TK in the last five days after not seeing one for a month 16th *B-29 hit Manila's Port for the following combat result: Day Air attack on Manila , at 43,52 Allied aircraft B-29 Superfortress x 134 Allied aircraft losses B-29 Superfortress: 7 damaged Japanese Ships AP Josho Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Hakutetsu Maru #13, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Konan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Amakasu Maru #1, Bomb hits 2, on fire AK Mito Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Taga Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kimishima Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Hukko Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AK Boko Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kitano Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Ryuyo Maru, Bomb hits 3, on fire AK Asakaze Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Nissen Maru #2, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Kashi Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Kanko Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire MLE Tenkai Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire TK Azuma Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AE Kashino, Bomb hits 1 AP Daitei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Nichii Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire ML Natsushima, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AP Banshu Maru #21, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AR Kiyosumi Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire AP Africa Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Huso Maru, Bomb hits 1 AK Kongo Maru, Bomb hits 1 AK Yamamiya Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Meisho Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Kashiwa Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire AK Yamahagi Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Zenoa Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire MSW Hinode Maru #17, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage Japanese ground losses: 97 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Port hits 10 Port fuel hits 2 Port supply hits 1 That'll leave a mark! To my surprise I am not detecting a lot of new TF's being formed up here yet. The returning CVTF from Darwin arrives PH next turn and will begin Repair and Upgrades. Two out of three of the CV's already at PH are fullly upgraded and at 0 Syst as is the one CVL. CV Bunker Hill is at 2 Syst. After a very long Pause, CentPac is on the edge of some action. I am through **** footing around with these Atoll invasions. Larry has 33 k troops at Marcus (10% above the HR limit) I am sending three full ID, a RCT,Tanks, and Arty. I plan to blow thru this base like a hot knife through butter
