From CIC-PAC to POTUS Central Pacific December 31th 1942 - More Fireworks to End the Year Mr. President the battle for Tulagi is underway. At this time we expect several days of intense combat around Tulagi. While it was unfortunate that some Japanese surface forces hit the transports all troops are ashore safely and only supply is left to unload. The transports will stay to keep providing the marines ashore. --------------------------------------------- Sub Combat December 31st 1942 Sub attack near Rekata Bay at 112,135 Japanese Ships LB-503, Shell hits 7, heavy damage Allied Ships SS Plunger --------------------------------------------- Sub Combat December 31st 1942 Sub attack near Tulagi at 114,137 Japanese Ships SS I-169, hits 5 Allied Ships BB Indiana, Torpedo hits 1 DD McCall --------------------------------------------- Surface Combat December 31st 1942 Night Time Surface Combat, near Tulagi at 114,137, Range 5,000 Yards Japanese aircraft no flights Japanese aircraft losses E13A1 Jake: 1 destroyed E8N2 Dave: 2 destroyed Japanese Ships CA Atago, Shell hits 2 CA Mogami, Shell hits 11, and is sunk CA Mikuma, Shell hits 1 CA Suzuya, Shell hits 18, and is sunk CA Kinugasa, Shell hits 1 CL Naka CLAA Tatsuta, Shell hits 5, and is sunk DD Teruzuki DD Yugumo DD Makigumo, Shell hits 1 DD Makinami DD Shigure DD Murasame, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Harusame, Shell hits 7, on fire, heavy damage DD Umikaze, Shell hits 5, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Ikazuchi, Shell hits 1 DD Yakaze DD Yukaze DD Yomogi, Shell hits 7, and is sunk E Hayabusa, Shell hits 7, and is sunk E Kiji, Shell hits 3 E Kamo, Shell hits 1 Allied Ships BB North Carolina, Shell hits 4 BB Washington, Shell hits 6, Torpedo hits 1, on fire BB Indiana, Shell hits 11, Torpedo hits 1 DD Fletcher, Shell hits 1 DD Chevalier, Shell hits 3, and is sunk DD Nicholas, Shell hits 2, on fire DD O'Bannon DD Laffey DD Lansdowne, Shell hits 2, on fire DD Barton, Shell hits 6, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk DD Gansevoort, Shell hits 17, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Meade DD Gridley, Shell hits 1 DD McCall DD Downes, Shell hits 2 --------------------------------------------- Surface Combat December 31st 1942 Night Time Surface Combat, near Tulagi at 114,137, Range 1,000 Yards Japanese Ships CA Atago CA Mikuma CA Kinugasa CL Naka DD Teruzuki DD Yugumo DD Makigumo DD Makinami DD Shigure DD Murasame, on fire DD Harusame, Shell hits 8, and is sunk DD Umikaze, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Ikazuchi DD Yakaze, Shell hits 14, Torpedo hits 3, and is sunk DD Yukaze, Shell hits 8, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage E Kiji, heavy fires E Kamo Allied Ships PT-82, Shell hits 1 PT-83 PT-84, Shell hits 1 PT-115, Shell hits 5, and is sunk PT-116 PT-117, Shell hits 1, and is sunk PT-118, Shell hits 4, and is sunk PT-119 PT-120 PT-121, Shell hits 2 PT-122, Shell hits 19, and is sunk PT-123 --------------------------------------------- Surface Combat December 31st 1942 Night Time Surface Combat, near Tulagi at 114,137, Range 26,000 Yards Japanese Ships APD Namikaze APD Numakaze Allied Ships BB Washington, on fire BB Indiana DD Gansevoort, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Meade DD Gridley DD McCall --------------------------------------------- Surface Combat December 31st 1942 Night Time Surface Combat, near Tulagi at 114,137, Range 26,000 Yards Japanese Ships CA Atago CA Mikuma CA Kinugasa CL Naka DD Teruzuki DD Yugumo DD Makigumo DD Makinami DD Shigure DD Murasame DD Umikaze, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Ikazuchi DD Yukaze, heavy damage E Kiji, on fire E Kamo Allied Ships BB Washington BB Indiana DD Meade DD Gridley DD McCall --------------------------------------------- Surface Combat December 31st 1942 Night Time Surface Combat, near Tulagi at 114,137, Range 1,000 Yards Japanese Ships CA Atago CA Mikuma CA Kinugasa, Shell hits 1 CL Naka DD Teruzuki DD Yugumo DD Makigumo DD Makinami DD Shigure DD Murasame, on fire DD Umikaze, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Ikazuchi DD Yukaze, Shell hits 9, on fire, heavy damage E Kiji, on fire E Kamo Allied Ships APD Manley, Shell hits 5, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk APD McKean, Shell hits 1 APD Humphreys APD Sands AP Harris, Shell hits 24, heavy fires, heavy damage AP Zeilin, Shell hits 13, on fire AP Leonard Wood AP Hunter Liggett, Shell hits 1, Torpedo hits 1 AP American Legion AP Heywood, Shell hits 4, heavy fires AP George F.
