Subs
Subs are active around the place, they now have a number around Rabaul, and around Dutch Harbour. One of the later sink a YP between Dutch Harbour and Adak.
With the signint of the 11th div in the Kuriles I send over ome subs, they attack a large xAP but get no hits. I may be ble to get a SCTF here in time to catch this force....

Quiet. Unloading supply at TB. Forces are preping for attacks on islands in the Marshalls.

They appear to be low on supply as tpt aircraft are hit by AA as they fly in.
Not sure how much longer we can hold... not long I suspect!
Over Changsha Oscar sweeps are met by the recently increased fighter force (Vanguard squadrons!) a couple of planes are lost on both sides.
