Supplies Delivered: 0 tons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub vs Sub: SS I-172 attacking SS KVIII at 51,94 - near Toboali Japanese Ships SS I-172 Allied Ships SS KVIII, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage SS I-172 launches 4 torpedoes at 3,000 yards Glug, glug. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Kwajalein Island at 132,115 Japanese Ships SSX Ha-20 Allied Ships AM Tern AM Bobolink AM Robin AM Vireo AM Grebe SSX Ha-20 is sighted by escort AM Bobolink fails to find sub and abandons search AM Robin fails to find sub, continues to search... AM Vireo fails to find sub, continues to search... AM Grebe fails to find sub, continues to search...

He's lost two CL to subs over the past month as they are tied to escorting transport TFs. This has been forced on him by my surface raiding missions and is both forcing him to commit warships to escort missions instead of surface combat TFs AND it is costing him ships as these CLs are moving slowly with the AKs and make great targets for my subs. SS Grampus launches 6 torpedoes at CL Jintsu Escort abandons search for sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack near Singapore at 50,84 Japanese Ships xAKL Genkai Maru DD Yudachi Allied Ships SS Grayling SS Grayling is sighted by escort Grayling bottoming out ....

Those two ships were sunk and the BF took heavy casualties but, all in all, Manado will be buzzing with fighters tomorrow and it'll be a brave Japanese player who sends KB in there. The strike groups will get through and cause great damage but KB will be a spent force for 2 months after such a day.
