Oh..never mind. Curiously, it's only Kates. The carriers must have moved back after the close call from the SBD's 2 days ago. No torps either (probably a range issue)

N&IC: It appeared JJ might attack at Noumea so we send away all of the flying machines. 22 P-39's were packed onto an AK and everything else that couldn't fly was loaded onto rafts and sent out into the current. Apparently "some" are going to show up in the replacement pool.

A USN DD retreating from La Foa runs into a Jap DD named after a delicious Italian cheese..sort of.

The airfield is at 51% service damage and 48% runway damage.
No SBD's can operate so the P-39's/P-40's/F4F's are sent back inn to cover the landing of 2nd Marine Regt. Just a couple of DD's and some DM's to cover the landing as USS Chester shot her wad on a useless bombardment.

Status: offline 		Arrival of components of 2nd Marine Regt. convert the attack into a 1:2 and JJ takes heavy casualties. This means Noumea is safe until either:

1) JJ brings up more offensive power

-or-

2) A sustained campaign of air or naval bombardment wears down the defenders.

But we now have 80 mines and PT boats arriving and can put a SCTF on station at Noumea and perhaps bring back the AD and AE at Tanna and patch up the airfield and..close in behind them at La Foa.

Pretty good dramatic recreation of the battle of Mons (from the British side) on Netflix


Mons? Mons venus? Were they able to penetrate the slit trenches effectively?


Mons, Belgium not Mons Pubis. Brits were defending the Mons. They were already in the slit trenches. Naturally, they did not want to share with the Germans.

So the stiff upper lip is only half the story? No wonder the men didn't want to talk about the war to their wives when they returned...
