@ Baguio, PI I have 1500 AV about 2 miles outside of Clark and another 400 AV in Clark to make a hell-of-a-push on Manila.
Carl has 2 subs east of Kwajalein. I have 3 TF of DD on ASW plus every-freaking DB/TB on my CVs set for ASW.
Below LCU plus those in the PI will be ready for Opeartion Spanky in the South Pacific.
