Status: offline 		Despite the inability of our troops to inflict a crushing defeat on the enemy in recent months, we have still done much to weaken his forces. The Allied troop transport fleet and submarine service has come under considerable pressure, and it will be difficult for the Americans to make up these losses in time to conduct major offensive operations with in the calendar year. This, coupled with recent carrier engagements which have left much of his carrier forces damaged, has lead the Daihonei to issue directives for the conduct of several localised offensive operations in order to return the initiative to Imperial Forces. Therefore, operations KA, I-Go and SHI have been drawn up. Operation KA is underway and the fruits of this operation should soon fall into our laps.

Total lies of course. The majority of US submarines are actually not on patrol, but on leave.
The only kernel of truth in the enemy news release is the intact state of the Japanese carriers. Localized offenssive operations may be carried out but they shall not interfere with the next round of offenssive operations, scheduled to start by November
