Pearl Harbnor:
- KB stayed for a second day and launched an afternoon strike. Only 3 of 5 Zero sentais escorted, against a 100 strong CAP. Lost 5 Zeros and 30 bombers for minimal returns. Only bombs were used, because I have a feeling I'm going to need the torpedoes really soon.
- Midway captured in the evening by SNFL elements, after a morning bombardment by a CL and 6 DDs. 14 Mavis and 9 Betty move to Midway.
