Radio Report from USS Grenadier
Somewhere North of the Phillipines
Well, the initial cruise to Luzon was uneventful. After a bit of patrolling, we made contact with a Japanese Merchant. We promptly sank it. We've been having issues with our batteries out here. Diesel fuel is good, but all these airplanes is killing our battery charging schedule. We're ordered to proceed to a patrol grid north of Okinawa. I will probably head back to port if this goes well. If not, I'm going to try and get into a Japanese port on the Mainland.
