Wasp, on her way back to noumea with damage, was attacked by a Jap sub. The sub put ONE torp into her, but she made it to Tulagi Harbor yesterday. She sank the next day [:(]

Ryujo however was confirmed as sunk and Shokaku, judging by her damage reported level, is out of the war.

i have practical carrier SUPREMACY in the south pacific[:)]
