KB disappears after charging Pearl

Malaya/Sumatra
Massive air raids continue.

We didn't have a CAP up over Singapore today. AA took down four bombers. Damage on the ground is still unaccumulating. Repulse took a few more non-penetrating hits. Oscars strafed Singapore's last minesweeper and sank it.

We managed to get 2 Hurricanes up over Palembang; 1 was shot down. Damage on the ground is not accumulating.

The Fulmars at Palembang took off to try to hit an enemy task force, but failed to find the target.

Thailand
Enemy Nicks and Oscars got through our escorts protecting Blenheim bombers attacking troops in the open near Raheng. We lost 2 Hurricanes and a Blenheim.

Hawaii
I have no idea where the KB ended up. That I have ships north, east, and south of Hawaii and none of them are reporting sighting aircraft suggests they turned around and left to the west, but I'm still worried they're going to show up in my shipping lanes or even off the west coast.

My PBYs took advantage of the KB's absence, though, and hit a cargo ship loading troops at Lahaina with a torpedo. I'm moving my bombers back to Hickam, but I'm not replacing any lost fighters and divebombers just yet.

Reinforcements
AM Dubbo arrives at Townsville
112th Cavalry Regiment arrives at San Francisco (unrestricted, full strength)
11th USN Naval Construction Battalion arrives at Port Hueneme (unrestricted, full strength)
