RE: 900 miles from San Francisco
They were full of air; not that it helped keep them afloat. When we only encountered 4 carriers south of PH, it was presumed that there were 2 north of PH. This group of ships paid the price to prove the theory; rather this than 4-6 crippled BB's limping along. They are still sitting in their slips in Pearl.....some sitting lower than the others....hehe....ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake

What IS it loaded with?
Why Toys for Tots, of course. Its 2 days before Christmas. [:)]
I think it was headed East, unladen. Not sure exactly.

..Oh! We fly o'er the treetops with inches to spare,
There's smoke in the cockpit and gray in my hair.
The tracers look fine as a strafin' we go.
But, brother, we're TOO God damn low...

Tarakan..where the Hell is that?
like an outbreak of bad acne, ugly red pimples are popping up all over the PI and Borneo...and they have nasty E. betty bacteria in them. Too hot for POW to stay around. The KNIL at Tarkan are on their own.

On the road again
[font="Times New Roman"]Dec 15...We made 15 miles today. The children are become inured somewhat to the rigors of travel. Japanese planes again appeared overhead today but made no move toward us. By their insouciance, I suspect they judge us to be no threat. There were two cases of dysentery today among the troops. We pray this is not cholera. As a precaution, they are riding in a vehicle by themselves. We got word today that 3 more brigades arrived in line West of Kuantan. This gives us hope that they may hold until we can reach them[/font]

Later in the war, the Allies developed Hellcatcillin and Corsairmycin, both of which were highly effective against E. betty... [:'(]

2 Jap carriers off SF. 2 damaged. Hiryu either sunk or a hulk. 2 CVL's and CVE's in Amboina.
Good time for a surface battle. [:)]

Hard to believe that any military purpose was achieved by this. The Aerhart Light after the IJN got done with it.
Maybe make life difficult for the enemy by destroying a nice high platform able to be used for naval observation.

Indeed, it would make sense if one were planning an invasion of Baker..which is only about 15 miles away from Howland, I think. The highest natural elevation of Howland is only 20 ft. In the context of the game, then, it makes sense, to pump a couple of rounds into it on the way to Baker. Perhaps the Japanese had an intention, at one time, to capture Baker or Howland?

Twas the night before...........
The transports were nestled all snug in their harbor
While visions of bayonettes filled them with ardor
The bosun in his'kerchief and I in my cap
Had just settled down to look at the map
When out on the sound their arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bridge to see what was the matter
Away to the porthole I flew like a flash
Grabbed my field glasses and developed a rash
The moon in the East which had risen low
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But HMAS Australia, what a sight, Oh what fear!
