Sumatra
The enemy heavy task force went through the channel to get to Palembang. A destroyer hit a mine and sank. The task force pressed on and shelled Palembang but didn't do that much; a few aircraft damaged, light facility damage. On the way out the KIX and KXIII tried to attack, but were spotted by escorts, and KXIII was lightly damaged by depth charges.

China
A sweep of Chengchow resulted in 1 P-43 and 3 Zeroes down; my bombing raid there shot down 3 Zeroes intercepting it. 1 Wellington bomber was lost to AA.

Singapore
Sweeps and raids on Singapore resulted in 1 Oscar down for them, 1 Hurricane and 2 Mohawks for me. I miss last week when we were culling them. I think I'm going to need to move the scoutplanes out of here, supplies are going too quickly. I've already stopped rearming subs here. One of the raids hit the Repulse, seemingly permanently confined to the shipyard.

Hawaii
I've outfitted VMF-214 with Wildcats, they'll be online in a few days. Buffalos on patrol found more landing barges to strafe, this time loaded with troops. They sank 3, killing about 700 enemy troops (55 support squads destroyed).

Our heavy bomber raid on Lahaina hit a sub in port.

Casualties were 585 to 682 on the ground in Oahu today, favoring them, but it looks like the enemy is starting to break.

At Palmyra, our marines shelled the enemy while the Wolverines were being worked on. Fatigue is also an issue, I'm going to have to rest them another day.

E. Australia
Destroyers found a sub off Brisbane, one ran itself out of depth charges attacking it. One pattern in particular hurt it badly, but it slipped away.
