Dec 13, 1941 Lost SS KXI at Patani but, CL Adelaide found a small TF at Finschafen Day Time Surface Combat, near Finschhafen at 100,126, Range 15,000 Yards Japanese Ships PB Toshi Maru #3, Shell hits 1, and is sunk PB Tama Maru #8, Shell hits 1, and is sunk AKL Kaijo Maru #2, Shell hits 16, and is sunk AKL Tateyama Maru, Shell hits 8, and is sunk No troops killed, so just some supply and the ships -------------------------------------------------------------- Bases lost toaday: Guam, Naga, Vigan, Calayan, Finschafen, Hollandia --------------------------------------------------------------- Again he swept Pearl Harbor with KB A6M2s I wonder if he is thinking of invading Pearl Harbor? I do think it would be a mistake, but why is KB hanging out around Hawaii? BTW, none of my DBs set for night naval attack flew. Also, it appears that he has split KB. There is a TF with at least Cv Kaga in it SE of Midway, 7 hexex away. Another TF with unnknown composition is 10 hexes SE of Midway. KB appears to be stationed 7 hexes South of Pearl Harbor. Even though it does say there are aircraft there, the sweeps came from the South, and that is the only TF in sight there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The DBs at Cebu were effective again Morning Air attack on TF, near Atimonan at 80,79 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid spotted at 15 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 6 minutes Allied aircraft SB2U-3 Vindicator x 16 Allied aircraft losses SB2U-3 Vindicator: 2 damaged Japanese Ships APD -100, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Fuyukaze xAP Rakuyo Maru, Bomb hits 4, heavy fires, heavy damage Japanese ground losses: 230 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 10 disabled Non Combat: 4 destroyed, 7 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Got a few troops that time ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
