ADM Halsey -> RE: KB spotted off Noumea (12/27/2005 6:53:04 PM)
Trolling for American carriers has paid little dividends at this time. One carrier the Saratoga was found and is now a home for the little fishes. [;)] Surface combat force at Moresby was not able to catch transports so it settled for a non-moving target. Forces are almost together for the continuation of expansion plans in the DEI. Baby KB is just recon to see what is moving around. Some targets have been found but nothing major. On the Chinese front progress is still being made and pressure will continue.

So are you at work, or are you home and if so, does this mean that the turn is coming?[;)]

Sorry but must make money, I am currently at work. I wish I was at home to get the turn in.[:(]

The island of Sumatra is the next target of Halsey-san's greedy eyes. Japanese forces land in Bahka in the North (As the map depicts) side of the island. Why is he landing there is beyond me; there is a rai connection to the tip of the island, but only a trail leading to Palenbang. He probably wants to control both sides of the Malacca straits. There is also a transport TF heading to Lae it seems. Not much I can do about that. It is hard enough to try and keep the transports away from the betties at Canton Is.

Some successes: The PT boats that had been stationed at Tarakan were effective, however they cannot impede the invasion. In any case, the APDs that they torpedoed will be sorely missed by Halsey-san Also army Dauntlesses from PM score some hits on the Lae invasion fleet. On the down side, baby KB is doing it's thing near Suva.
