The Japanese carriers move off again, sparing our loaded troop ships another day of bombardment.



their few remaining ships at Maloelap have a crack at it, but fail to hit them.







There is a force of Japanese ships near Finschhafen, is this another invasion force, or a supply force for one of the nearby enemy bases.



Our carriers launch another large raid into Rabaul, and in a small measure of revenge for Pearl Harbor, we leave a good number of ships on fire.







The Shanghai express makes another unsuccessful attack on Nagasaki.

Our men then counter attack, with mixed results.



We make another good attack on Kiangtu.
