Singapore
Singapore is absolutely pasted, multiple waves of bombers. Am sitting tight. My best chance of prolonging this is to hope for 1 or 2 more attacks to go my way and then pushing him off the island.

It's getting painful to watch now, this episode has humbled me beyond measure, am beating myself up for wasting my surface assets going after KB and for putting all my eggs in one basket and not pushing out the merchies to safer ports when I could have done so earlier. The losses are not what gets my goat, it's the relative ease at which I'm handing CTG VPs. On hindsight I should have scattered everything on the first sighting of KB coming down from the north of Darwin, object lessons galore from this episode, hopefully I put up a better fight for the DEI and SWPAC.
Canberra, Leander and Dragon all go under this turn, other significant losses includes a medium sized TK, the rest are the usual small fry like AMc/HDML/ML/AGP, a couple of smallish xAPs also bite the dust.
Sub War
Cachalot takes a shot at a DD screening KB but misses. I now have 10 subs within 3 hexes of KB and another 6 more coming in from Java and from positions south of the Philippines. Am spreading out the subs on random patrol paths around KB as I cannot predict with certainty where the CVs will be on any given turn.
