An enemy sub hit a mine at Wake. We finally finished emptying one of the phibs there and can use that boat to start taking the frontline Marines off to make room for the base forces.
USS Sawfish torpedoed and sank a destroyer near Babar
USS Albacore was severely damaged in a retaliatory depth charge attack after it attacked a cruiser-destroyer group off Legaspi (Philippines). We may lose her.
Hurricane sweeps over Mandalay resulted in one Hurricane shot down with no enemy fighters (Tojos) shot down. The B-25s all got through to try to interdict ground forces.
All enemy fighters appear to have vacated Rabaul.
The KB is hanging out west of Babar. Not sure why.
USS Amberjack scored two torpedo hits on a troop-carrying cargo ship south of Japan, almost certainly a kill.
