Taliking about returning home, the first phase of operation return home is half way done. An AP TF in transit to Tricomalee, to pick up the 9th AIF div. It is escorted by American CVEs. They will arrive at Trico, link with British carriers and return the 9th AIF back to OZ. The reason for this elaborate set up is that the previous AIF division repatriated had to hang out in the Indian Ocean for weeks until the enemy carriers got out of the way. They arrived in Albany just on the nick of time. [image]local://upfiles/6626/38747B180A284E67BA98A8EB32321EFD.jpg[/image]

Detected, and with the advantage of surprise no longer on his side, Spruance takes his carriers back to Palmyra. The troops at Canton Island were very much encouraged by the sight of the mighty ships. No longer would Tokyo Rose be able to say 'Where, Oh Where is the US Navy?" The North of Oz is still a problem, as the Menado Garrison was pushed off the road by the Japanese. The road to Cloncurry is open.

The allies cannot ignore this deep thrust into Oz. In fact Oz public opinion demanded the withdrawal of 2 AIF divisions, only one of which has arrived up to now. This hamstrings British operations in Burma. Also, up to now, 2 US divisions are stationed in Oz, which hinders allied offensive plans in the South Pacific[8\|] [image]local://upfiles/6626/734170E9D19A435DB13BB374C238083C.jpg[/image]
