27 March 1942
Japanese subs getting on the board again after some frustrations
Western Australian Coast
I-166 torpedoed and sank the destroyer McCall off Perth.
Hawaii and West Coast
I-1 hit a cargo ship with 3 torpedoes south of Hawaii, sinking it from under the nose of at least one escorting destroyer.
At this point it seems likely the Yorktown has escaped again. I had two subs chasing it from Hawaii, they did catch up with her battle group a few days ago but haven't regained contact. The two up ahead tried to collapse in closer to San Fransisco on the assumption that she changed course and would approach from a different direction, but that just put them in easy range to be tracked by enemy ASW assets.
China
I'm letting one of my bomber squadrons attack Sian's airbase instead of just hitting their troops because recon says the enemy has a lot of bombers based there. We got one SB-III on the ground. We're starting to cause light-moderate casualties on the ground too.
Reinforcements
1st Ku S-1 arrives at Maloelap - Fighters for the Marshalls. Sadly initially equipped with Claudes, so I have to ship them off to Guadalcanal to transition them to Zeroes, then fly them back.
