Surrender clause? Never... Punch my monitor forcing a cessation of hostilities? Possibility some days.
Almost seems like the surrender clause can apply to life and getting old!!![:D]

May 19th 42. Brief report, so as not to bore you with details.
A Japanese submarine was attacked and hit 6 times at Pago Pago. It was the RO-34, it, and it's crew have rejoined their honorable ancestors, it succeeded in torpedoing DD King; the destroyer is being repaired at this time.
A large raid on Port Moresby occurred today.
The insignificant base of Toboali, in the DEIs was taken today by the enemy. There were no losses, all the allied forces having been evacuated a long time ago.
