9 Dec 41 --- The Allies fight back and have some success.
In sub action, near Palmyra, I-20 launches 8 torpedoes at CV Enterprise...and miss. Dodge a bullet there. Near Nadi, I-10 sinks a small AKL with gunfire. Lots of ships unescorted to begin the game. That will be fixed as soon as possible, but lots of ships have to get to a safe port first. I-121 gets a shot at an AP near Singapore, and misses. Finally, well off the coast southwest of San Francisco, I-26 gets repeated attacks on unescorted huge AP Lurline, and sinks her.
For the Allies, SS Trout gets a shot at a destroyer near Laysan Island, south of Midway. It misses, but spots an AO in the task force. KB and oilers are retiring south of Midway, heading west or southwest.
The Japanese make landings at Nauru Island(captured), Manokwari on New Guinea, Laong and Vigan in the Phillipines, and on Guam. In the Phillipines, Zeros sweep Iba, knowing that there are fighters there, but find none. They are off flying 100 ft naval strike missions to Laong in the AM, and Vigan in the PM. The strikes are spectacularly successful, with no CAP found over the task forces.
