Warspite** -> RE: Jap merchants bushwacked (4/19/2006 3:30:39 AM)
Despite the inability of our troops to inflict a crushing defeat on the enemy in recent months, we have still done much to weaken his forces. The Allied troop transport fleet and submarine service has come under considerable pressure, and it will be difficult for the Americans to make up these losses in time to conduct major offensive operations with in the calendar year. This, coupled with recent carrier engagements which have left much of his carrier forces damaged, has lead the Daihonei to issue directives for the conduct of several localised offensive operations in order to return the initiative to Imperial Forces. Therefore, operations KA, I-Go and SHI have been drawn up. Operation KA is underway and the fruits of this operation should soon fall into our laps.
