2nd Dec
Betties and Nells pound the airstrip at Moresby, taking out some aircraft on the ramp and doing a bit more damage to the field itself.
In comparison, CCIP's night raids over Rabaul seem to be getting smaller and smaller, averaging 3 Liberators a strike now. Perhaps his squadrons are hurting, as they sure must if they are flying night after night. The fatigue levels must be crawling up there.
Elsewhere, I-10 becomes the latest casualty of the brutally one sided sub war. She took several bad hits off the coast of Bundaberg and is now making her way back to Truk before returning to Osaka. My sub losses are unsustainable.
Yamato will head back towards Moresby tonight, taking advantage of the lack of any air cover there for the time being.
