28 September 1942
A calm day

CENTPAC
USS Kingfish torpedoed and sank an enemy cargo ship near Marcus Island. It took 5 hits to get a single Mk14 to detonate.

Enemy forts at Hilo are down to Level 1.

China
We lost a P-40 over Chengchow with no victories. Our bombers still hit the enemy troops without losses. We got 3 fighters out of Chengchow.

SouthPAC
Noumea's Wirraways bombed another sub.

There's a lot of naval activity around Guadalcanal. Going to send some recon planes to check it out. And I'll bomb the port with B-17s and B-24s for good measure.

Ships are being loaded at Noumea for another attempt on Luganville. Wasp is nearby to support, and I'll have a CVE for this operation for air cover too. Enemy Kates are keeping a close eye on things from Ndeni to Efate.

Intel
Intel now reports the battleship Ise didn't sink after all.

Refits, Repairs, Reinforcements
HMS Revenge has begun repairs at Capetown. It's going to take 3 months.
343rd FG/344th FS arrives at Anchorage (2/25 P-40s - training for now, Alaska's not a high priority)
131st Combat Engineer Regiment arrives at San Francisco (full strength, unrestricted)
