Action continues to be sniping at transports/ AKs at Mersing. His expansion has reached Lunga
It appears that he is going for an octopus approach, Halsey seems to try to establish a defensive perimeter, and then go for the Southern Resource Area. Trouble is, there isn't much we can do about it.
Appear at places to which he must hasten; move swiftly where he does not expect you.

Any ideas?[&:]

RE: HALSEY DEFECTS
Enemy cariier aircraft have attacked Wake.
In the Banda Sea, an allied cruiser raid was attampted on Amboina; however, the Task force was surprised by Betties, and several ships have been torpedoed.
Allied forces continue to snipe at enemy transports; lately with relatively good effect. It does seem like this will be the only way to slow down the yellow juggernaut[X(]
