Well there I concentrating on sinking the only known RO in the area when whoops! My mine TF ran right over the top of a second one just south of Gilli Gilli. I am happy to report that I sank her, but not before she put a big hole into a Dog Dog, which also sank. The first of the new USAAF bomber groups sent to India flew their first mission against Pagan today knocking out 3 resources, yeah it is not much but it is a start for the green crews whom all returned safely. The Liberators and Mitchell are the first of three full wings (9 BGs) that are planned to deploy to India, and as their experiance rises so shall the toll that they extract from the Nip. An RAAF Mitchell Sqdn operating out of PM found a small TF and bombed it in the Bismark sea, it is thought that this TF is carrying troops to be used in future operations against PNG, but with one AP taking two bomb hits it is doubted that Luskan will continue. The RAAF chaps are very keen to fly some follow up missions to catch the rest of the TF. I have been getting some disturbing intel reports of troop and ship concentrations in Singapore. Latest intel shows some 196 ships based at Singers with some 36 LCUs. I am going to have to get some more hard data on this.
