TF 244 is unloading the 1/84th Nav Guard unit at Lunga. I'm surprised to see that there was some supplies already there, or maybe it's
being downloaded from the ship as the troops are coming off. I've got a fuel ship and some engineers headed this way already so maybe
we'll have an airfield and a port soon.

TF 272, I think that's the one, has text in the name field that says it was in Tokyo on the 17th of March and given today's date I can say
that roughly speaking it's about 8 or 9 days from Tokyo to Truk. Sailing at 11 knots.

I just took some back-of-the-envelop calculations about my going through the list of all TF's moving them as needed and out of 98 ships
4 times I needed to dock or undock the TF, 6 times I needed to do some involved rebuilding of the TF from various ships, 10 times I
needed to redirect a TF to a different destination and 78 times there was no change needed at all. Just thought you would like to know.

Wake is out of just about everything but some ships are headed to Wake w/ supplies and fuel and we're even downloading the 34th Inf
Rgt at Wake.

Jim and I traded files, I watched the movie and here's some fresh combat results. First of all here's the losses for the day:

I sent a convoy to Port Moresby and had the big guns escort them and they STILL got shot up. So I guess that the answer is to do naval
bombardments of Port Moresby until the hurting stops. I'm loosing supply ships to this kind of process. Supplying my troops from sea
isn't the way to supply them I'm finding out. Half of them have some supply now however so I'm thinking of getting them up to supply and
just letting the Allied forces do their bombardments and eventually this situation will work itself out. It's just that I'm in a hurry right now.

One of my carriers had a close call. Whew!

It's the beginning of the end for an Allied TF at Canton:

I-166 eventually get hit itself and needs to head back to the repair barn.

Midway is a good place for a sub to hunt. Lots of targets.

And then Darwin gets hit w/ some night missions:

And then Port Moresby got pounded by a naval bombardment:

And then Cagayan got hit by a naval bombardment:

My supply ships at Port Moresby are still getting pummeled.

And that's all she wrote for these DMS ships.

And my Oscars sweep Singapore:

And there were several strikes on Manila:

And then the Hurricanes at Georgetown teach my guys how to do CAP.

And my Lilly's got hung out to dry also.
