Jap bombardment fleet SNEAK in again(they have BBs with them and I don't why my patrols can't locate this kind of big fleet. A few DDs is understandable, but BBs, com'on!)

For some reason they didn't bombard Noumea but stopped at the hex when the day comes. My catalinas only put one torpedo into Kongo. She should be sunk, if I have more torpedo planes. What a pity.
