A clever cruiser raid on Luganville nets some cargo ships, however an enemy carrier strike into the South Pacific coincides, and the cruisers are threatened with getting caught with their pants down and their skivvies showing. Fortunately the carrier piolets are too busy raiding merchies to bother with the cruisers.
