RE: WPO: subs in the pacific!

On the 10th of August, the Battle Force and Main Force converged on the Japanese invasion beach at Aparri. They wreaked a fair amount of havoc:
Many, many ships were reported sunk. The Japanese battleships that had been protecting the landing forces earlier were absent. Now we just have to get away while we can! I have almost no 16" ammo left..
The counterattack began on the ground, as well.
Running the next turn now.
