Meanwhile KB and betties from malaya damage and sink about 7 AK's and AP's
seemingly doing something on the sumatran west coast ? wonder what ?
and KB Kates hit batavia port losing 4 to flak and finding the harbour empty.
We can be consoled that the zeros decimated the defending buffs and wirraways.
I suspect there is a large allied airforce in soerbaja so we'll give it a wide berth
for now (CV's anyway). and as we have already got the best of the dutch and now the
US surface units its only the boise on the loose and i think shes damaged (lightly).
KB to be on invasion duty and lesser KB to head to the pacific after the landings at
kendari . KB will frobably cover the next step which is a leap to timor.
