Bloody day in the air today.

The I-169 spotted another xAP today (after torpedoing the monster yesterday). She put a torpedo into a smaller loaded xAP. Later in the day, she caught up with the xAP again and put another torpedo into her, this time putting her down.

Actually, I don't think that they can. Without a capital, I don't think you can re-build that nations forces. They go back into the auto return queue, but without a return date. It looks something like this:

The S-28 launched a couple of torpedoes at DD Sazanami. Fortunately, they missed. Sazanami is an escort for the amphibious TF dropping off Kure 3 SNLF at Munda. A little later, S-28 launched 4 torpedoes at CA Tone, a much more valuable ship. They, too, missed. Then, Sazanami ...
