Perhaps against better judgement, the Japanese press ahead with their invasion of Kendari....and tangle with Adm Smith's Light Cruiser TF, which has doubled back on Kendari despite depleted torpedoes on many vessels. In a night gun battle, 5 Japanese DD's (the Natari has apparently been detached b/o previous damage) score a 3:1 ratio in hits but are overwhelmed by the weight of Allied gunfire and the armor of the Allied cruisers. When the Jap Dd's are forced to withdraw, the transport force is hammered by Adm Smith's TF. After the failure of the attack, the airfield at Kendari has been repopulated with Dutch and American aircraft. There is sure to be a slaughter when the sun comes up, weather pemitting.
