DD Nowaki, Shell hits 1

TK Kiyo Maru, Shell hits 19, heavy fires, heavy damage

The mail plane is here! The mail plane is here! This almost as bad as getting "brown up" by an uglofortress.

Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Miri at 64,87

Raid spotted at 17 NM, estimated altitude 4,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 6 minutes

****Escape of the damaged crusiers, Jan 9-10****

2 have reached Darwin but a Jap carrier force of some description is in the Torres Strait.

2 refused to go north. One made Bundaberg and the other is making a run for the Southern Solomons.

Minneapolis extinguished her fires and is ported at Sydney.

None are really out of trouble.

*****KB******

The KB moved Eastward toward Noumea on the 9th. We buttoned up everything we could from Noumea to NZ and sent transports away.

On the 10th, the KB disappeared and there were no attacks or sightings by carrier aircraft?????

Usually the AOs for the KB TF is held somewhere further away from the Aus. coast. KB going to meet them could look like a move on Noumea.

I don't suppose any educational materials are included along with this war bond drive? You know, the type that explains that a long-term fixed interest bond yield can be made effectively worthless by significant inflation in 1947, thereby losing the investor money? The quintessential "return free risk"?

To be fair, BBfanboy, it appears as though the war bond promulgated here is only part of a balanced portfolio. This portfolio, per the advertisement, also includes toenail trimming-fed hogs (pork bellies), tobacco and the subtle insinuation of prostitution. Now THAT's diversification!

I can only imagine one of those investments providing a happy ending. I would insist on being part of the quality control team, to ensure ISO 9001 standards of course!

SGIII: My dad said I didn't need it anymore. <she has just returned from a week away..a blind rage comes over the older participant...he seems to be trying to control himself..after a short while the facial suffusion resolves..>

Noumea: Yesterday WJD were spotted at the NW tip of New and Improved Caledonia
headed SE..likely to La Foa or Noumea: We had brought in air support troops to Noumea previously but
a USMC regiment had to turn around after the carriers were seen W of New Caledonia 2 d ago. Despite vigorous air searches, the carriers are nowhere to be seen.

One thing can be said for sure. They aren't covering the landing at New Caledonia very well. SBD's fly over from Oz. La Foa is
unguarded but Noumea and Koumac have USMC defense forces. All the covering surface forces have scattered from the carriers threat.

Morning Air attack on TF, near La Foa at 114,159

Ahhhh...that is sublime. Then an attack on the covering BB's.

Morning Air attack on TF, near La Foa at 114,159

Weather in hex: Heavy cloud

Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.

Allied aircraft
SBD-3 Dauntless x 9

Allied aircraft losses

Aircraft Attacking:

Naval Attack: 1 x 1000 lb SAP Bomb

Seems like 3 x 1000 lb bomb hits would break something. Damage does not seem very severe.

13 year old SG III arguing with me about treatment of an ear infection.

FAM: Did you finish your antibiotic?

SGIII: My dad said I didn't need it anymore. <she has just returned from a week away..a blind rage comes over the older participant...he seems to be trying to control himself..after a short while the facial suffusion resolves..>

FAM: Look, you don't argue with Tom Brady about how to throw a football

SGIII: I don't get it.

FAM: Thus it is demonstrated.

The trouble with conversations like that is the main point goes over their head, but pointing out such is so far over their head it's practically in orbit.

Reminds me of various dog flea treatment and prevention discussions I've had with relatives over the years. They'd rather take advise from some pimply-faced puke working at the local pet store.

Could you elaborate - what diseases do dog fleas get that people want to treat?
