A strange naval battle occurred in Lunga. I don´t know who´s the winner. I guess me but I don´t like the idea of losing half a dozen minor ships.
Night naval battle
Well, my ASW TF was patrolling the slot, while a TF of APD were on a supply mission. My aggressive leader reacted to a enemy TF which was going to bomb Lunga or was looking for my APDs. In any case this is the result
Japanese Ships
DD Akitsuki, Shell hits 8, on fire
DD Urakaze
DD Murasame
DD Hatsushimo
DD Yugure, Shell hits 5, Torpedo hits 1, and is sunk
DD Nagatsuki, Shell hits 6, on fire
PC Takunan Maru #10, Shell hits 13, and is sunk
PC Takunan Maru #2, Shell hits 1
PC Ch 4, Shell hits 2, on fire, heavy damage
PC Ch 5, Shell hits 3, on fire, heavy damage
PC Ch 6, Shell hits 4, on fire, heavy damage
PC Ch 11, Shell hits 7, and is sunk
PC Ch 12, Shell hits 4, on fire, heavy damage
PC Ch 16
PC Ch 17, Shell hits 1
Allied Ships
CA Indianapolis, Shell hits 2, Torpedo hits 1, on fire
CA Louisville, Torpedo hits 1
CA Minneapolis, Shell hits 3, Torpedo hits 1, on fire
CA San Francisco, Shell hits 1
CL Achillies, Shell hits 1, Torpedo hits 1, on fire
CL Phoenix, Shell hits 1
DD Benham
DD Wilson
DD Phelps

And during the day, damaged ships were spotted and attacked by aircraft from Irau.
Allied aircraft (three attacks)
SOC-3 Seagull x 3
SBD Dauntless x 61
TBF Avenger x 24
P-38G Lightning x 9
P-40E Warhawk x 11
Allied aircraft losses
SBD Dauntless x 5 damaged
TBF Avenger x 1 destroyed x 2 damaged
SOC-3 Seagull x 4 damaged
Japanese Ships
PC Ch 6, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage (by seagulls) (sunk)
DD Nagatsuki, Bomb hits 3, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage (sunk)
PC Ch 12, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage (sunk)
PC Ch 5, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage (sunk)
PC Ch 4, Bomb hits 3, on fire, heavy damage (sunk)
Final results
Jap losses
6 PC sunk
2 DD sunk
1 DD damaged
US losses
2 CA on fire
1 CL on fire
1 CA torpedoed
So, it depends on the damaged suffered by the CA but it seems the ones on fire are going to be out the war (scenario).
Naval bombardment of Lunga, at 38,40
Japanese ground losses:
Men lost 155
Airbase hits 9
Airbase supply hits 2
Runway hits 66
Night attack on PM
Japanese aircraft
G4M1 Betty x 10
Allied ground losses:
Men lost 11
Airbase hits 1 ***poor results, PM is packed with 600 aircraft or so***
Runway hits 1
Submarine warfare
Sub attack at 7,54
Japanese Ships
SS I-27
SS I-26
Allied Ships
AK Diomed, Torpedo hits 2, 1 shell hit, on fire, heavy damage
AP Manunda, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage (and sunk)
B25 attack Kavieng
I was expecting the heavies but I guess last US losses forced Timtom to rest his pilots.
Allied aircraft
B-25D Mitchell x 21
Japanese aircraft losses
G3M Nell x 1 destroyed ***he is always lucky with this little attacks***
Allied aircraft losses
B-25D Mitchell x 1 damaged
Airbase hits 4
Airbase supply hits 2
Runway hits 15
I´m extremely surprised by th e results. B25 are at extended range but they manage to cause some damage to the airport.
