RE: RHS105- 15 Feb 1942: Action Everywhere!
Sopac is progressing as planned...after dropping our troops one amphib TF was caught in daylight by a enemy CA TF. The KB did not see the CA Tf probably because of Clouds. The nachi was out of ammo from previous action and took some hits for the team.

RE: RHS105- 15 Feb 1942: Action Everywhere!
