[ADM Halsey]

Now what gave you that idea that we are after Burma now? Would it be the big swarm of IJA forces next to the base? We could be doing a decoy to draw your attention from other areas.

The Akagi is limping along at a good speed and will make port in 2 to 3 days if nothing major happens.

[kaleun]

Pompack's patented cure is in progress so no AAR.
The invasion of wake is in full swing, at some cost to Halsey-san as can be seen by the pics.
