tough our fleet was ordered to sail out of the harbour to catch the enemy at Sea, they were sluggish to weigh anchor. So some night battle occured, and even our carriers fell in with their 8" and 5" guns. Combined with the daylight airborne attacks we believe that most of the USN is in sinking condition now. Carriers of the KB and most of our battlewagons came out unscratched or with slight damage only, so we can proceed on the path of destruction...
