Fletcher -> Royal Navy strike back plan ! (4/28/2007 2:57:39 AM)
After landings at Samarinda, Japanese surface groups must be scarced with ammo, it is the momment that I am awaiting. RN Force Z with BB "Prince of Walles" and BC "Repulse", with 3 CA, 4 CL and 6 FD destroyers will crash the enemy off Samarinda. A Fleet Air Arm Squadron with 10 Swordfish will try to get opportunity targets from Balikpapan airfield. The surviving dutch PT boats will try another time to get a hit on enemy ships (after several unsuccesfully attempts. Australian Strike Force with CA Camberra, CL Perth, CL Adelaida, DD Voyager and DD Le Triomphant will crash with enemy ships spotted at Kendari. This Force departured yesterday from Koepang after two enemy ships were spotted heading to Kendari. Strategic air bombing of the air facilities at Kuching will be released by the B-17d/e groups at Java Island, trying to neutralize this airfield.
