Shikuka: These enemy BBs don't have escorts and are showing smoke and fires.

10/2/44

Shikuka: Lonely enemy BBs are low on ammo. Will my LBA get a crack at them in the morning?

10/2/44

Shikuka: The enemy BBs continue to press forward. This is only the second enemy altercation against merchant ships pressed into emergency defensive service tonight. My combat TFs (of all kinds) have fought hard to keep the wolves from the sheep.

10/02/44

Shikuka: More good shepherds throw themselves at the wolves.

My ASW forces will be badly depleted after this night's fighting.

10/2/44

Shikuka: Will there be any PT TFs left to fight after this turn? Will there be anything left?

10/2/44

Shikuka: PT TF takes care of one enemy DD (that's five so far, I think).

10/2/44

Shikuka: Looks like confirmation of a 6th IJN DD sunk.

10/2/44

Shikuka: This PT TF wiped out without scoring any hits.

10/2/44

Shikuka: This enemy DD TF is dealing death to PT TFs.

10/2/44

Shikuka: A measure of revenge. IJN DD number 7?

10/2/44

Shikuka: Number 8?

10/2/44

Shikuka: Two hits.

So, Yamashiro and Fuso are both damaged fairly heavily.

I think that may be it for the nighttime phase.

The daytime phase is pretty active. I may end up summarizing or cutting things short. This is taking two lifetimes. Let's see.

10/2/44

Shikuka: Both sides are gassed at this point. I hope this DD TF survives the day and remains at Shikuka to replenish. It might be all I have left.

10/2/44

Shikuka: 9 and 10?

10/2/44

Shikuka: DMS vs. AMC in this arena of death.

10/2/44

Shikuka: APD vs. AMC.

10/2/44

Shikuka: Sunfish scores twice against badly damaged Fuso. Sinking sounds heard.

10/2/44

Shikuka: One AMC confirmed sunk; one HF/HD.

Good to see this Fletcher TF still fighting and still floating.

10/2/44

Shikuka: This tough enemy CL TF packs a wallop.
