Batavia fell on 26 September, while Manila fell on 27 September. In both cases, the defending force was deliberately weakened as it appears that the industry fortress units in RHS can create untakeable fortresses. The USN begins the re-conquest of the Gilbert Islands.

Dateline Japan, 9 October 1942

Tokyo radio broadcast the following news:

The Imperial Japanese Navy this morning trapped the United States Fleet in the Marshall Islands and in return for light damage on three small carriers sank four carriers and two modern battleships. Airstrikes later in the day by land-based bombers sank two more carriers, a modern battleship, and six cruisers. Twenty five Japanese airmen became aces and were awarded the Chrysanthemum Medal for their bravery in destroying one hundred thirty two American aircraft.

So what really happened? Did you lose the KB to Long Island and a few submarines?

The mini-KB nosed into a major American landing operation covered by all the American carriers. Most of Japan's naval 2E bombers are in range (with adequate long range escorts) but have not been launching. I think I may have hit the Enterprise, and they did lose a lot of pilots.

The Japanese Government announced a glorious victory at the Battle of Tarawa on November 19, 1942, with the USN and RN fleeing ignominiously. It is believed four fleet carriers and two battleships were sunk in addition to the transports of a marine division, the remnants of which are expected to surrender shortly on Tarawa. The IJN Main Battle Fleet and KB will be shortly arriving at Kwajalein for a well-deserved rest.

Will elements of the KB and main battle fleet experience infinite delays in arrival at Kwajalein?

No one in the main battle fleet is in danger of sinking, and the KB is untouched.
