09-10 September 1942 Solomons Still see a US TF about 6 hexes ENE of Lunga - assume it is the carriers though we see no sign of air activity. Supply on the ground at Tass exceeded 600 today - though still only about 20% in the units. Shortlands is 22% airfield complete. New Britain 8% complete at Gasmata, all four SNLF are now concentrated at Rabaul planning away for the Milne Bay Op. Papua 1% complete at Finschhaven Truk 4000 fuel, 12000 Supply, the second group of AO are full and heading South. At the end of this turn we will have 29K fuel at sea aboard the AO. Planning We will load up one TK (11000 capacity) about half way and run it down to Rabaul - this should keep Rabaul going until the end of the Milne Bay operation. The Vals at Truk are just about trained up as the Zeros that started at Lae but went back to Truk early to rebuild. We have 4 carriers, 6 BB, 21 Cruisers and 44 Destroyers at Truk. Impressive force but without much gas there is little opportunity to use them. A brief opportunity will be comming soon. The 2nd Div engineer unit is at sea and headed for Buka. Allied B-26s again tested our defenses at Rabaul losing all three of the unescorted attackers. [image]local://upfiles/7611/4F064EE30B36461FA9307590D00910BF.jpg[/image]
