PB Kyo Maru # 10 and Nagata Maru locate SS KXIV at 105,123 near Kavieng but can’t do anything more than gain an initial fix and then lose it. The captain of Nagata Maru is dogged and after further searching gets a shot at the sub. The PB unloads all depth charges for a nil return.

I succumb to the temptation to send in a sweep over Karachi. The raid is overly costly with tracker confirming 9 planes and pilots lost but we do find AVG/1st Sqn (P-40E Warhawks) and No. 30 and No. 67 Sqn (Hurricane IIb Trop) in residence. I already have a healthy respect for the Hurri IIb Trop against the A6M2 and this raid reinforces that belief.

Raid detected at 11 NM, estimated altitude 17,000 feet.

Estimated time to target is 3 minutes

A6M2 Zero x 30

Allied aircraft

Hurricane IIb Trop x 11

I’ve very sure that I did this the hard way but Addu is finally in the possession of the Empire of Japan. Certainly threw away too many transport ships here and on the fly planning let my troops get more touched up than I wanted. Chalk it up to experience gained.

PACIFIC

Many, many miles away on the same night the IJN underwater arm suffers a first loss at 172,131 near Palmyra.

Japanese Ships

SS I-3, hits 6, and is sunk

Allied Ships

DD Case
DD Lamson
DD Mugford
DD Bagley
TK H. M. Storey
TK Larry Doheny
xAP Republic
xAK Sidney Hauptmann
xAK Edward Luckenbach
DD Balch
DD Porter

The torpedoes launched against DD Case don’t find their mark but, in response, the upgraded ships of the Mahon, Bagley and Porter class use their enhanced ASW capabilities to deadly effect. SS I-3 is forced to the surface. She fires off torpedoes every which way but to no effect and after a short fight slips beneath the waves.

The loss of I-3 may not be in vain. The composition of the TF and their southwest heading has been relayed to the 5 CV strong TF of RADM Yamaguchi. The fleet is currently to the east of Naru Island. Orders are quickly issued for the fleet to make a rendezvous with the trailing replenishment TF as quickly as possible. Submarines are ordered to stay in touch with the American convoy. The Japanese carriers have the legs to make up the distance if the convoy continues on the same course. For Yamaguchi though there are question… always questions. If that American convoy heading to Palmyra after all… or is it heading to Canton Island, Pago Pago, Suva or perhaps further afield to New Zealand or Australia. More importantly is there a covering force and if so how strong. For now though one thing is paramount – prepare to commence the hunt!

PACIFIC


Our submarines have lost contact with that promising convoy. The possibilities about it’s current whereabouts abound; anywhere from a complete course reversal to a change of course after the sighting. The composition of the convoy suggest it was too important not to get where it was heading. I’m inclined to favour a change of course and for the time being Yamaguchi, now fully fuelled, will move towards an intercept position.

Hunted turns hunter and launches 2 torpedoes at DD Asagao which miss. DD Karukaya takes up the attack throws every depth charge until she is out. Every single one wasted exploding above the subs depth. I knew this was a forlorn hope in deep water but worth it just to let Todd know I am interested in hunting his sub if he wants to park them off my bases… just have to wear unanswered torpedo strikes when I do.
