Dec. 23/41:
An interesting piece of intelligence near Fiji. I know CA Indianapolis doesn't start in one of the American carrier TF's, but the two destroyers start at Pearl. It looks like the American Navy is deploying to the South Pacific, right where I'd like it to be.

The China theatre is going according to plan.
KB and the Australian amphibious assault forces begin to sail south. I will have to be careful, because if the Allies are in the South Pacific in strength they could get a shot or two at my invasion forces.
