From: Cpt Garret, TF 75 to Pacific fleet HQ: Whoever decided going near a japanese base with CVE and DDs was a smart idea was wrong. Sending a CVE and DD back for repairs. Rest are also damaged but operational. Must stay away from japanese bases at night since the japanese navy is still deadly at night. From Tokyo Rose to US Marines: Before we start the music the imperial japanese hq wishes to inform you that Japan has won a major victory near Saigon with the sinking of two carriers, a battleship and lots of other ships. And now music from Louie Armstrong Pacific fleet hq on hearing Tokyo Rose: Strange, I didn’t know we had battleships in that area. Onboard CVE Petrof Bay that was the ship most damaged in the battle: Horray, we are upgraded to a CV from a CVE according to Japan. Japanese naval hq in Saigon to Tokyo: Don’t celebrate to much, because the yanks had other ships in the area and took revenge.
