Welll another interesting turn the highlights are below
My scrambled DD Sqn closed on the convoy in time to intercept an IJN TF
Losses were about even but the convoy wiull get through.
I have 5 CVE's in the TF and they picked off a CL in the daylight phase as well.
We have a problem Kamikazes seem to be targetting PT Boats - now this issue I have some sympathy with.
