Well the short comings of my raid on Luganville (or should we call it Luskanville :D ) were more than made up for by my LRB which raided Cairns.......and found no CAP ! Needless to say they had a field day bombing the docks and all the ships tied up in port ! Looks like I caught Luskan with his pants down ! :D
