Japanese land at:
Australia
B-17E hit the 14th Division at Katherine, they do little damage and 1 plane is shot down by flak .
My bombing of Katherine airfield attracts no flak.
Pacific
In the waters between Australia and New Zealand a small CA task force finds a large slow convoy. Unfortunately , they mostly use the torpedoes against the small DD targets and not the lumbering floating docks.
My ships have a long way to get to Noumea and thence to somewhere to fix them. DD Sukukaze is the only one that has damage at a risky level (54/13/25 with 5 fires). The main risk is that Allied carriers may be in a position to attack. Confirmed sunk are 2 xAK and 2 AG but more sinking sounds in the following repair phase so at least 1, maybe 2, more Allied ships are sunk.

More cut off Chinese surrender.

. They are probably doomed as he will fly fighters in to prevent any resupply and bomb them to pieces.
