Mostly a slow night so far I have sent my subs on patrol from Pearl Harbor I also have some subs operating out of Dutch Harbor and Anchorage in Alaska they are going to raid the coast of the Home Islands. I'm also sending some scouts out to wake before I send in the big guns. I've also been sending the second waves of oil tankers and supply ships out.

Very interesting, I haven´t come across the Jap gunboats in the games I played. It is usually my poor guys that end up getting hammered by Japanese destroyers (or worse).

London Times
July 6, 1922
Two British Destroyers were attacked by accident today by submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Japanese government has appologized to the British government for the attack. The British ambassador has issued a formal protest to the government of Japan. Tensions have been high in the region because of the ongoing war between Japan and the United States.
