As expected there were landings at Appari, Ligayen and Cagayen. I was able to put a force of DD's within striking distance of the Cagayen landings and sent them in to try and get the transports. The action was at 2000 yards and I sank the Mikasa for the loss of a Destroyer.

My submarines are also doing yoemen work keeping me informed where the Japanese forces are and also putting a few holes in whatever comes by[:D]
