Hi, Japanese TF in pursuit of Houston TF finds them at Balikipapan. Surprise POW and Repulse also there. I think these surface actions will prevent a joining of forces and Allied attempt to form a powerfull TF. Hyuga will be out of action for a while. I don't think the Allied BB lost anything but their intended escorts. Several IJN DD were lost with several more likely to go down before reaching port. Dutch submarines off Malaya are feeding like sharks. I can't form ASW TF yet becasue of Allied air.
