After a very sucessful couple of days it is time for the KB to head home. She is in dire need of aircraft and pilots and a break. Somehow I managed to allow the Enterprise to slip through my hands.[:@] My forces have entered Singers, she wont last much longer. Final tally for the Sydney raid. Lexington (sunk) Enterprise (heavy damage) Salt Lake City (sunk) Canberra (sunk) Chicago (sunk) Northampton (sunk) Portlan (sunk) Achilles (sunk) Leander (sunk). All in all not to bad.
