January 2nd, 1944.
The Japanese carriers with a battleship force sail down to Wewak and prove they're still a nasty force. They sink the supporting Allied battleships, BB Prince of Wales, BB North Carolina, BB Arizona and the cruiser, CA Chester. A destroyer grp. was also sunk.
But! BUT!! Wewak was taken and Allied airpower is established at the base. Still — not worth the price of admission and an error that should not be repeated. If you're thinking of sailing battleships in range of carriers in daylight — don't.
The Soviet Union has joined the Allies and declared war on Japan. ☭
