The USN carriers take a few minutes to put up their feet and the WJD are all over the place.

Rabaul: The night skirmish at Rabaul. I think both sides scared each other with star shells.

DD Yayoi
DD Uzuki
DD Mochizuki
DD Yuzuki

DD Stuart, Shell hits 1
JJ does not attack at Rabaul on the 21st. Neither does Australia get a chance to bombard.

Balikpapan: The town falls but at least we got some mileage out of the mines. There is cosmic justice in a minelayer falling prey to a mine.
TF 107 encounters mine field at Balikpapan (64,97)

DD Sanae
PB Keiko Maru
PB Busho Maru
CM Itsukushima, Mine hits 1, heavy damage
6 mines cleared

DEI: The KB is now 120 m SW of Pontianak, Borneo. They might be retiring or they might be covering a landing at Palembang (which appears imminent)

Hiryu and Soryu are gone and may have started back for repairs. The least damaged of the two could be available for operations lamost immediately. Kaga will likely need drydock after the torpedo hit.

The USN carriers have to go back to Townsville for fuel and then can return to the Rabaul area.

This would be wonderful news if Maya sank from her mine strike near Banjowangi (phonetic spelling) after chasing after helpless merchies in an obvious war crime.
Would also be very nice if the other bitchen' CA were sunk from her wounds with Repulse...but my heart has been broken so many times by Miss Fog'o'war that I am untrusting (someone check to see if this is really a word).

Feni Islands? Sounds like one of the spice islands. Oh, wait, that would be the Fennel Islands. Oh..Hell..<goes to look it up>..ah, it's by New and Improved Northumberland..or whatever that island with Kavieng is called.
HMAS Australia had a full magazine so she was ordered to turn around and stop being a sissy. She is ordered to cover the AP evacuating the Diggers. We run into some WJD AKL doing something or other.
