04-Nov-1943 Lots of sub action today with hits scored on both sides. I am sure this is just a flesh wound but any hit is a good hit especially after being sighted once already and it was an 8 fish spread. quote:
ASW attack near Marcus Island at 123,84 Japanese Ships SS I-24 Allied Ships DD Perkins SS I-24 is sighted by escort Sub attack near Marcus Island at 123,84 Japanese Ships SS I-24 Allied Ships BB South Dakota, Torpedo hits 1 BB Massachusetts DD Downes DD Dunlap SS I-24 launches 8 torpedoes at BB South Dakota Now it is the Allies turn. I-122 is probably a goner but I-30 gets some revenge. quote:
Sub attack near Daito Shoto at 95,72 Japanese Ships xAK Yamayuri Maru, Torpedo hits 1, heavy damage xAK Ryunan Maru xAK Kuritake Maru xAK Tokusima Maru xAK Siraha Maru xAK Kuwayama Maru xAK Pacific Maru xAK Hague Maru E Yugao Allied Ships SS Guardfish ASW attack near Wewak at 96,118 Japanese Ships SS I-122, hits 12, on fire, heavy damage Allied Ships DE Wileman Sub attack near Wakkanai at 122,47 Japanese Ships xAK Mantai Maru, Torpedo hits 1 xAK Ceylon Maru PB Magan Maru Allied Ships SS Triton Sub attack near Wewak at 96,118 Japanese Ships SS I-30 Allied Ships DE Wileman, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage Marcus was invaded as well. The shock attack is pretty sad by the Allies. After a few days rest, they will take the island but these units are beat up. I will see how the next day or two unfolds before committing the counter invasion. quote:

I am positioning KB to hit the invasion area at range 6 with Death Star hopefully remaining at range 7. There is no detection on KB right now. I have more chance of taking something with me in the invasion hex then facing Death Star straight up. There might be riff raff south of Marus as well. I just need to take something with me if KB is sunk. Wa
