KB searches for surviving wounded ships

Arafura & Banda Seas
A sub finished off the torpedo-damaged destroyer Caldwell.

The Yamato, along with 2 cruisers (the two that were strafed yesterday) and 2 destroyers, shelled Babar, destroying 1 P-38 and damaging 7 other fighters.

I'm trying to gather the Lex's and Sara's surviving aircraft at Port Morseby. This usually doesn't go well if the "core" unit goes down with the ship, which is the case here. I may just have to disband them and start them over in a month or two. The KB hasn't moved far, apparently searching for crippled ships to finish off. The Caldwell was really the only ship in that category, though. The rest of the former battlegroup is making good speed south towards Sydney, everyone else is headed out of the area too.

Burma
We got 3 Oscars at the cost of 3 Hurricanes over Magwe. A B-25 was shot down by flak, plenty more were damaged. I'm going to have to increase the bombing altitude here.

Japan has moved back into Moulmein.

CENTPAC
We sank another midget sub at Midway.

Reinforcements
CVE Chenango arrives at Balboa (two more about to arrive; I'll wait)
DD Saufley arrives at Balboa
