Dateline, Singapore: In the interest of protecting Commonwealth Territory from any of the belligerent nations, The Admiralty has announced the sailing of TF's #1086 and #1087 from Singapore to the East Borneo coastal enclave of Sandakan. The purpose of this mission is to fully garrison this important location in order to deter any of the warring nations in the Southeast Asian area from infringing on Commonwealth Territory. This communiqué© has been forwarded to all the warring parties in the region. This deployment is of a peaceful nature, but both Task Forces will have the capability of defending themselves in the event that any nation attempts to disrupt the mission. Following the successful garrisoning of Sandakan, shipping in this area would be advised to consult with the Admiralty in order to permit safe passage in the waters around the port.

Its interesting how about 18 months into the game aircraft are taking an increasingly important role. The action in this turn took place less than a month shy of 17 years after Eugene Ely made the first aircraft landing on a ship, the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania (ACR-4). In 1912 she was renamed the USS Pittsburgh after her name went to the new battleship, and she served with distinction in the present war, conducting several successful raids along the Japanese coast. She took a tremendous amount of punishment, absorbing 6 torpedoes and 16 bombs before sinking. Ironically, about 75% of these hits came from aircraft.
