*****************Dce 9, 1942(c)*************** Dobo: The PT flotilla from the previous fight went back as they still had torps. JJ brought more transport taffys. Night Time Surface Combat, near Dobo at 83,116, Range 2,000 Yards Japanese Ships PC Sumire E Kiku DMS W-5, Shell hits 3 DMS W-6, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk DMS W-7, Shell hits 3 PB Fuji Maru, Shell hits 1 PB Keinan Maru, Shell hits 1, heavy damage PB Aso Maru #3 SC Ch 12 xAK Yamasimo Maru, Shell hits 1 xAK Azuma Maru xAK Hakkai Maru xAK Hokuroku Maru xAK Tokyo Maru xAK Nako Maru xAK Tenryu Maru xAK Asuka Maru xAK Erie Maru xAK Yamayuri Maru, Shell hits 1 xAK Seizan Maru xAK Hokuriku Maru xAP Miike Maru xAP Buenos Aires Maru xAP Montevideo Maru xAK Tenshinsan Maru, Shell hits 2 Allied Ships PT-21 PT-28 PT-115, Shell hits 1 PT-118, Shell hits 1, and is sunk PT-150, Shell hits 2 PT-166 PT-173, Shell hits 1, on fire Task forces break off... Allies subs were very aggressive around Dobo but did no damage. These boys showed up at Dobo and now rule the roost. CA Aoba CA Myoko CA Chokai DD Oboro DD Samidare DD Karukaya DD Hatakaze These are the same ships that were engaged off PH. I think JJ has given up there. A single AK was damaged by the B-25's from Merauke. B-17's from Horn staged an effective raid on groudn troops at Dobo. JJ managed to get most of their troops ashore and it may be a formidable force after all. The jumpmster finally managed to push the 503rd command element out of the C-47.
