Philippines
Mine clearance operations at Bataan and Manila have completed. Time to start moving troops again.

Gilbert Islands
I sent a small SAG (1 CL, 3 DD) after a bogey that turned out to be a PG. Not sure what he was up to, but he's on the bottom now. One of my destroyers took a hit for moderate damage.

SOPAC
I swept Sydney with 18 Zeroes, opposed by 9 P-40s; we shot down 6 of them and damaged the other 3 with no losses. Strategic bombing to follow.

At Noumea, we lost a pair of Zeroes to 4 B-17s attacking the battleship Yamasihro. No damage to the ship.

Java and Banda Sea
The day before they were due to withdraw, I raided Darwin with a Nell squadron, doing light damage to the port facilities.
