***************June 2, 1943(c)************* Okinawa et environs: The WJD carriers and crusier are gone. JJ lost some 30 Vals yesterday. Somehow Naha now have 35K troops today. Probably just FOW. USS Cabrilla has some fun 7 hexes East of Horrycrappo-jim. Sub attack near Tokunoshima at 98,66 Japanese Ships xAK Sansho Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AV Kiyokawa Maru AV Kamikawa Maru AV Kamoi xAK Nitiryu Maru xAK Asama Maru #2 xAK Kenzan Maru xAK Meisan Maru xAKL Bunzan Maru xAKL Hiyori Maru PB Nishho Maru PB Magan Maru Allied Ships SS Cabrilla Japanese ground losses: 10 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Then a second attack. Don't see that very often. The second ship apparently has no troops aboard. Sub attack near Tokunoshima at 98,66 Japanese Ships xAK Kenzan Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage PB Nishho Maru AV Kamoi xAK Sansho Maru, on fire, heavy damage xAK Nitiryu Maru xAK Asama Maru #2 xAK Meisan Maru xAKL Bunzan Maru xAKL Hiyori Maru PB Magan Maru Allied Ships SS Cabrilla Then the sun comes up and the TBF's reach out from Horrycrappo-jima. They are dropping bombs because the base is only level two. Pretty good shooting. Morning Air attack on TF, near Tokunoshima at 98,66 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid spotted at 19 NM, estimated altitude 12,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 8 minutes Allied aircraft TBF-1 Avenger x 14 No Allied losses Japanese Ships xAK Asama Maru #2, Bomb hits 1, on fire xAKL Tokuwa Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire xAK Koki Maru xAKL Gozan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire xAK Heiei Maru Helldivers from Karenko sink some patrol craft on station at Kume-jima near Okinawa. We mean to take Kume-jima but more likely by air drop from Horycrappo-jima as opposed to a seaborne landing.
