quote: ORIGINAL: rtrapasso [&:] Nevada waited to get into effective range before opening fire (she was under fire before that) - and did pretty much all the damage... Oklahoma sank CL Tama, while Nevada sank CA Kinugasa, CA Aoba, and CA Furutaka... then the TF commander (Hickman) ordered the action broken off... if you were going to cashier anyone, Hickman should be the guy since he broke off the winning battle. But remember, Hickman was the Commander, so he wrote the report to Pearl.... I'm guessing it would only take a couple changes to the combat report [;)]

With the large bulk of the IJN CV's, BB's, and CA's banging around N&I C and Eastern Australia I keep expecting the Royal Navy to make some grand sweeping movement to crush the Japanese in a surprise assault. Any turn now, I know its coming - soon. Can't wait. Yep, the Japanese don't know what they are in for....it will be magnificent I'm sure. Catch them with their pants down, Right-Oh! Soon.

Naval losses last 2 days. We sank Arare with SBD's from Tanna. KB gone for two days. Last time this happened it was the old double back trick. [image]local://upfiles/7983/C8D195F8CF114B9D8DF0714794863904.jpg[/image]

**************King Kameamea Lounge, Royal Hawaiian********* FAM: Wait, you mean to tell me that when what's his name called a disengagement, Nevada had only 14% main gun ammo with two turrets completely out and Oklahoma had only 6% with three turrets out? Navy dude: Yes sir. FAM: And the destroyer screen was disorganized or disabled so he feared enemy torpedo attack? Navy dude: Yes, sir. FAM:** Look, I'm beginning to think I may have been a bit rash with what's his name. Send him some flowers and a case of scotch.

************Feb 26, 1942(d)********** Admiral Lord SPrior has gone walkabout and apparently has given cryptic authority to "carry on". Well, let's see what's left of the Royal Navy when he gets back. [:D]

N&IC: 3rd day without the KB. Either we are missing the window to send more guys or we are cleverly refusing their bait. Noumea is going to go to a level 4 airfield in 2-3 days if JJ doesn't do something. 3 fully armed prewar USN BB's are steaming off of Noumea and everyone is getting a nice tan. The new blue officer jackets with the striped red neck kerchiefs look splendid. We send some DD's to Koumac. 3rd night in a row. This time it works, sort of. Night Time Surface Combat, near Koumac at 113,156, Range 11,000 Yards Japanese Ships AMC Aikoku Maru, Shell hits 5, heavy fires Allied Ships DD Litchfield, Shell hits 1 DD Brooks One DD pretty much just makes it hard to sleep Night Naval bombardment of Koumac at 113,156 Allied Ships DD Brooks DD Brooks firing at 33rd/A Division Col. Cathcart <in briefing room at Suva International>: Here are the latest recon photos. As you can see, the airstrip is over here between the taro patch and the refuse dump in the NW corner. Here you can see the refueling truck...err...I mean the refueling hand cart. Now, the reporter from Time is going to fly along with...<looks at notes>..Yossarian so we want to be careful and not cause any collateral damage. Right, any questions. Young hirsute officer: How are we supposed to see anything? Colonel Cathcart: Why, with the Norden bombsight, of course. The United States Army Air Force has lavishly supplied you with the latest technology. Young hirsute officer: But it's dark. Colonel Cathcart: Group predicts a bomber's moon tonight. Young hirsute officer: Fine, the Moon can have my seat then. Colonel Cathcart: <leans over and quietly asks Squadron Flight Surgeon> Who is that guy? Doc Daneeka: That's Yossarian, Colonel. Colonel Cathcart: Is he crazy or something? Doc Daneeka: Who, Yosssarian? Naahh, probably the least crazy person here. Colonel Cathcart: LISTEN UP EVERYONE! Change of plans. the Time reporter will be flying with Nately.

La Foa: Even in the day, from 4000 ft, it's hard to hit the Little Yellow Bastards. Morning Air attack on 25th JNAF AF Unit , at 114,159 (La Foa) Weather in hex: Heavy rain Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 8,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 6 minutes Allied aircraft B-17D Fortress x 2 B-17E Fortress x 4 No Allied losses This was mainly to remind JJ that Tanna is dangerous.

Noumea: We should have started this earler. Quite effective. As you can see, we are "all in" in Noumea. We are ahead in AV but it is a jungle hex. No ground attack yet. The BB's could do serious damage on bombardment but we need a new AE to rearm them. The one at Noumea is still burning. Ground combat at Noumea (115,160) Allied Bombardment attack Attacking force 1287 troops, 74 guns, 34 vehicles, Assault Value = 433 Defending force 10895 troops, 99 guns, 14 vehicles, Assault Value = 377 Japanese ground losses: 85 casualties reported Squads: 1 destroyed, 6 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Assaulting units: 2nd Marine Regiment 2nd USMC Parachute Battalion 2nd USMC Tank Battalion 8th Marine Regiment 193rd Tank Battalion 260th Field Artillery Battalion 804th Aviation Engineer Battalion II US Fighter Cmnd 21st MAG Noumea Base Force 3rd Marine Defense Battalion 808th Aviation Engineer Battalion 64th Coast AA Regiment 147th Field Artillery Battalion 198th Field Artillery Battalion 11th MAG /2 Defending units: 4th/A Division 4th/B Division 4th/C Division

Deadly dangerous on Gilligan's Island, otherwise .... interesting. Jungle fighting is easy anyhow.

If they were using the mini-bar, that explains your subsequent illness - although the pain should have been felt more in the wallet area. Were you using a money belt with that cummerbund?
