With the CV force speed at only 18 knots extricating the CVs from the battle zone takes a while. Fortunately there are no more lucky hits.
Another day of max effort at Manila, but it doesn't really go the Allies way. losses are 60 for 80, with the Allied heavies again getting mauled. This won't do. Manila remains operational despite the USAAFs best efforts, and the Legaspi assault force is being loaded right now, so something needs to be done.
I've amassed old battleships at Cagayan, and I'm going to try a naval bombardment. CVEs will escort the BBs and there will be LRCAP as well. There is also a cruiser SAG to protect them from surface action, but given the USN raid at Formosa still ongoing I think the path will be clear.
The Legaspi assault force is ENORMOUS. A 100 ship amphib TF, must be about 25 APAs alone. There are four divisions plus support embarked, theres an AGC command ship along for the ride with amphib HQ. There will be a second wave as well, but the plan has always been to move up units in Mindanao, Jolo, Panay and Leyte to Luzon. The Japs holding out at Butuan has put this slightly behind schedule. Legaspi is weakly held so I'm confident that I can establish a lodgment to reinforce from, the problem is Manila itself.
I think the Allies will need some Commonwealth support as well to crack Manila... I Australia Corps might be mostly available and mostly intact.

One of the Indian divisions is almost completely wiped out. But Singapore will fall next attack finally. Just as well.
Allied replacement pools are actually fairly healthy, there are ~200 British '43 squads and 180 Indian squads in the pools. Aussie and American pools are healthier still. The losses can be made up I think.
