26 June 1942
Hawaii
We continue to build on the number of submarines patroling near Pearl. USS Sturgeon gunned down a landing barge. The two cargo ships outside Pearl are still holding due to enemy surface traffic.
My sub patrols prompted him to switch is Mary bombers from bombing Pearl to ASW duty. S-31 was hit by one but wasn't seriously damaged--and the repair yard at Pearl is operational thanks to the cargo ships that got through.
N. Australia
Looks like sweeps/raids at Darwin are going to become a regular thing. Each side lost 2 fighters today. I'll have US P-39s backing up the Aussie P-40s (and their inadequately trained pilots) soon.
Sumatra
Unescorted enemy bomber raids got too close to Palembang--the only remaining fighter base I have here. We got 7 Sallies and 3 Anns as the CAP diverted to intercept.
Sabang has been captured.
Thailand
A Blenheim raid got bounced by Oscars, 2 Hurricanes and 1 Blenheim down with no kills of our own.
China
I attacked the enemy army at Chusien again but couldn't budge it. Even casualties.
