Tomorrow the surface group ex-Darwin will be on station at Namlea covering the base force's convoy arriving at the same time.
Found them! They had waltzed right through continuous naval search coverage. Perhaps weather was a factor? A sub mine-laying TF is passing by there with 180 mines, intent on a spot near Soerabaja to interdict those CA that hit Kalao. Instead they will, tonight, lay all 180 presents in the very hex where those CL are currently seen. If they are making for Zamboanga to rearm, then we might catch them on their next run.
