Shikuka: The enemy BBs continue to press forward. This is only the second enemy altercation against merchant ships pressed into emergency defensive service tonight. My combat TFs (of all kinds) have fought hard to keep the wolves from the sheep.

Shikuka: More good shepherds throw themselves at the wolves.

Shikuka: PT TF takes care of one enemy DD (that's five so far, I think).

I think that may be it for the nighttime phase.

The daytime phase is pretty active. I may end up summarizing or cutting things short. This is taking two lifetimes. Let's see.

Shikuka: Both sides are gassed at this point. I hope this DD TF survives the day and remains at Shikuka to replenish. It might be all I have left.

Good to see this Fletcher TF still fighting and still floating.
