Task Force Z

Something sank at singers? probably a poor whale or a small boat hitting one of your imperialist mines, don't be a warmonger! Japan wants peace and friendship

Oh, my....what happens, reports unclear...Phillips engaging the enemy.

Unconfirmed reports...radio intercepts....Repulse sinking...

Garbled message from Phillips...returning to base....under aerial observation. Fighter cover enroute...Buffaloes...

But what happened? Can they survive the day?

Love the blow by blow!

Admiral Phillips, if alive, will be chastised by the King for failing in his duty! It is a disgrace...and yet, Churchill sleeps soundly tonight after a hurried conversation with President Roosevelt.

The situation is unclear...but Allied planners are hard at work. Contingencies, contingencies....

The Desron at Hong Kong is battle worthy, at least we think it is. Boise and Marblehead Group too. The American Carriers untouched, but the KB is near to them...east of them. Perhaps the KB will lend her support to the anticipated Wake Island invasion. Fires burn at Pearl...but early reports are optimistic. Manila though seems hard hit.

You mean her father, the King. I very much doubt his wife would do the chastising.[:)]

Argh, my bad. What a jv mistake too. I do get kudos for actually looking up if Phillips had one or two Ls, though.

But now the sun is shining, still under a flash flood warning till tomorrow, but the electricity has returned in full vigor. My wife has workouts scheduled with the hair dryer and curling iron. How many wives still use a curling iron I wonder?

Think my wife has a one, but it's been re-branded to something more 21st century sounding.

I was curious to see that my wife upgraded her hair dryer to a 1950 watt model....the last one was only 1650. She thinks the curling iron is stronger...her words, and she is an engineer (just not an electrical engineer).

Well, it is pretty clear to me that we just broke all household records with respect to peak electrical consumption. Everything is on and running....

Hot off the wire...

Admiral Phillips dead!....stop....Prince of Wales destroyed....stop....Repulse sunk....Malaya invaded...panic in Singapore

The newspapers in London and planning scathing obituaries...with a dash of tragic heroism to make it not all so bad.

San Diego Union! Rumormongering, the West Virginia lives....I feel it!

I wonder if the term "nipponese" would be considered racist to use nowadays. It's simply taking the actual Japanese word for Japan (Nippon, Nihon can also be used) and adding "ese" onto the end of it. In a way, that's more culturally contextual than the Portuguese bastardization of Nippon to Jippon to Japan in the 17th century.

I think Clark AFB was untouched....

A closer look at Davao landings....Boise and Marblehead could probably react to them...or do something else entirely.

The Empire is definitely going all out for the Philippines. Does that make a fortress Singapore defense attractive?

I don't see why it would be. It is still in use...but, what do I know?
