I've got a sub off the coast of Perth that appears to be able to carry mines. It's got a slot for how many there are on board so I'm
guessing that if I park this sub in a port that has an HQ unit and chose the submarine minelaying mission then in a day or two there
should appear some mines aboard and I'm ready to lay some mines somewhere. Right? Anybody know?

TF 23 is my Port Moresby naval bombardment instrument and it's headed back to Buna to rearm but there's a tiny problem. The AKE's
that I have parked at Buna to rearm the BB's are themselves running low on supplies and Buna itself has only 1600+ or so. I'm going
to have to arrange for an escort to send those AKE's to Truk to get more supplies. Maybe one or two in the pipeline always going to or
coming back from Truk and one or two at Buna topped off.

The range circles on the left..........they're not from any Jap boats........could it be from an Allied TF?

In one of the most accidental meetings ever my sub runs across an Allied TF out in the middle between SFO and Pearl and gets a hit.
