Sundas and Sulawese: So far so good. We do not encounter the Jap BB's. There is said to be a CVL in harbour. Poor visibility do to weather and low moonlight.

Admiral Tom 'Thumb' Phillips wanted to give the Japs a chance to surrender before wasting shells.

You have perfectly executed your strategy of lulling JJ into a state of over confidence.

It would be a *shame* if something similar was to happen to Admiral Phillips. A really terrible shame.
I mean, I'm sure the British have plenty of other Admirals who can spell 'radar'.
