A quiet turn.
I hit the bombing hoards at Madang but the force i sent is too small to really dent his fleet. I'll take what I got though, no complaints.

My bombardment does more damage to me than his does!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have built a bombardment force around the South Dakota - I may as well use it for this even though it will compound the system damage issue - and send it against PM.
Washington removes the last of her floatation damage and heads back to Noumea and then to Pearl - what a waste!
With clear weather next turn it is likely Herbie-san will get his bombers up and try to attack GG and the shipping around it. I am diligent and set a fighter sqd at GG to guard each transport TF coming in and about to depart.
Lee changes hats again and uses his DDs to FT some supplies to DBD.
Something I forgot to add yesterday. My small force of Aussies managed to capture Lae Lae.
My PM invasion TF retires - the F4Fs continue to LRCAP it.
