Japanese Home Waters

USS Haddock was depth charged for moderate damage after a failed attack on a troop transport convoy near Aogashima.

Philippines and surrounding seas
West of Luzon, USS Seawolf scored a torpedo hit on a repair tender--possibly evacuating from Manila. It was severely damaged, but probably survived.

I attempted a P-38 sweep of Manila; 21 P-38s vs 24 Georges, 4 Nicks, and 1 Zero. Did not go well...6 P-38s shot down while only taking out 1 Nick and 3 Georges.

Strait of Malacca
HMS Templar was seriously damaged in an attack by subchasers led by a kaibokan. She's been doing a pretty good job dewatering her compartments, so she'll be OK.

HMS Tactician was bombed by enemy aircraft

P-38 and P-51 sweep of Bangkok; 1 Tony shot down.
P-40 sweep of Pisanuloke; 2 Georges and 1 P-40 shot down
