In other news: A non-typical surface combat at Pakhoi along the Chinese coast. Six small refugee Allied freighters which had somehow evaded previous searches were spotted by my search aircraft last turn. I dispatched a scratch surface squadron consisting of the torpedo boat Otori, four minesweepers, and three subchasers to hunt them down. Results: Night Time Surface Combat, near Pakhoi at 72,58, Range 2,000 Yards Japanese Ships TB Otori DMS W-1 DMS W-2 DMS W-3 DMS W-5 SC Ch 7 SC Ch 8 SC Ch 9 Allied Ships xAKL Chengtu, Shell hits 7, heavy fires, heavy damage xAKL Joan Moller, Shell hits 3, on fire xAKL Kanchow, Shell hits 4, on fire xAKL Soochow xAKL Yat Shing xAKL Halldor, Shell hits 11, and is sunk Low visibility due to Thunderstorms with 32% moonlight Maximum visibility in Thunderstorms and 32% moonlight: 2,000 yards Range closes to 11,000 yards...

Subchaser CH9 gained about 20 points of experience from this action. It will be interesting to see if she is more effective at hunting subs.
