DEI Naval Report, Jan 8th 1942:

24 allied submarines are patrolling in borneo nearby, with 7 USN fleet and 2 S-boats in the North, another 2 S-boats with 5 Fleet submarines in the south, and 8 dutch boats in the rear running fast to kuching and tarakan landing areas.

Inteligence: probably the Ryujo CV TF could be in the south, but we have not seen any aircraft, we try to confirm with SS and PBY. At tarakan a bombardent TF with BB Hyuga and BB Yamashiro with 2 CA´s and DD escort. CI and CII japanese air groups are in LRCAP over enemy ships at Kuching (Claudes and Zeros), I think could be the litlle CVE Hosho with CVL Zuiho.

Maneuvre Idea: Our first intention will be transit to preposition point (27,67) with ABDA Fleet (CVL Hermes, BB PoW, BC Repulse, BB Revenge, 4 CA, 11 CL, 2 CLAA and 24 DD in 3 main TF´s with 2 ASW TF´s). The Air Combat TF with Hermes and AA powered ships (CL´s, CLAA´s and better AA destroyers), Main Surface Combat Task Group with PoW, Repulse, all CA´s and better surface DD´s (all fastest), the Secundary (diversionary) Surface Task Group with Revenge and dutch cruisers, some destroyers.
When we will arrive at 27,67 we´ll we gather intelligence in the Tarakan area, if we could consider an attack chance we´ll running fast to 32,63 (Swordfish launch point) with Fast BB TF running fast to Tarakan and secondary TF´s closing the gates in the area. It is only the begining idea. We are trying to get the best attack chance. We will synchronize (X-1 day) with a bombing attack from Balikpapan with our ABDA strategic air force (16 B-17 and 16 Blenheim IV) over Brunei airfield only to neutralize)

Borneo report, ABDA Fleet

ABDA Battle Force with 6 Task Groups is heading to nearby Samarinda to launch air attack with Swordfish over
japanese transports at Tarakan. We have transfer 2 dutch fighters sqdns with 16 aircrafts to Samarinda and
Balikpapan airfields, with 12 british naval fighters aboard HMS Hermes in LRCAP over the fleet.

ABDA Battle Force with "Prince of Walles", "Repulse", 4 CA (2 USN, 1 Aussie, 1 UK), 5 Flush Deck destroyers.
ABDA Diversionary Force with "Revenge", 7 CL (3 dutch, 1 aussie and 3 UK), 7 DD (1 french and 6 dutch).
ABDA Air Combat Task Group, with HMS Hermes, 2 CLAA, 4 CL (2 UK and 2 USN), 7 DD (6 USN FD and 1 dutch).
2 Fast ASW Task Group with 2 DD each (all british) and 1 Slow ASW T.G. (6 USN MSW).

The ABDA Battle Force will sail to X-Point and if possible will launch Swordfish, if that will not be possible, the
ships will come back to our sanctuary at Soerabaja to refit and replenishment. If Tarakan will fall in the japanese
hands we will prepare similar measures to defend Kendari or Balikpapan bases.

Searching task by Do-24K in near bases (Makassar-Bendjamarsin), for the other hand, the South Borneo USN SubRon will
patrol the nearby of Tarakan searching for hunt. The VP Sqdn with PBY at Davao has been transfered to Manila like
dissapointment measure (probably our enemy will think could be fighters at LRCAP over Manila).
