AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Feb 01, 42
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can relate to Larry's frustration, The DMS by themselves are sitting ducks for CD guns.
TF 193 encounters mine field at Soerabaja (56,104) - Coastal Guns Fire Back!
15 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.
Japanese Ships
DMS W-10, Shell hits 7, heavy fires, heavy damage
Artilleriecommando Coastal Gun Battalion firing at DMS W-10

I'm assuming the mine hits are because the DMS are evading the CD guns... any thoughts?
