The CV raid on the Aussie East coast was a success, although nothing to hurt the Allies more than temporarily, the Kido Butai stumbled across several sizeable AK/TK convoys and pretty much sunk every ship, i guess around 15-25 maybe more where sunk, some of the Tankers had fuel on board, but the AK's like with the Indian ocean where eiether empty or just carrying supplies. Quite a nice co-ordinated strike too, if i had know id be able to summon up a strike like this, i may have risked the port attack on Brisbane! Day Air attack on TF at 58,110 Japanese aircraft A6M3 Zero x 6 D3A Val x 160 A6M3a Zero x 38 B5N Kate x 110 No Japanese losses Allied Ships AK William L. Garrison, on fire, heavy damage AK Edgar Luckenbach, on fire, heavy damage AK Steel Worker, Bomb hits 6, on fire, heavy damage AK Steel Voyager, on fire, heavy damage TK Alfred Clegg, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AK Lena Luckenbach, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Steel Ranger, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage TK Empire Granite, on fire, heavy damage AK Nathaniel Currier, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AK Christopher Greenup, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage Banzaiii! Rennel continued to remain a pain, he hit up a few AK's outside Guadacanal with Avengers and Dauntlesses flying from Rennel, escorted by a few Corsairs and Wildcats, my A6m3s on cap lost three of their number for one Wildcat, and damaged a few Avengers (they seemed to be tough to shoot down)
