The tanker I had S-40 hit at Lunga went down. Lee and Yank force were spotted on their way into mess Raver's transports up at Lunga, but they were spotted on the way in, Raver moved heaps of BBs into Lunga to wait for them so I called it off. Pity, because if I could just connect a surface combat group with his mass tanker tf, I could make Raver's fuel supply issues go from difficult (as is normal for the IJN) to impossible, which would hopefully curtail pretty much all offensive ops for his BBs and CVs further forward.
As it is, he's probably moved enough fuel by now to base his fleet at shortlands and lunga without fear of running out.
My surface fleet got smacked on a similar try at Buna - only lost 1 dd, but Raver's subs are camped off the aussie coast to catch the crippled ships that are going to have to limp home to Noumea.
