Busy day--two minesweepers cleared 135 enemy mines here at Truk.

USS Barb torpedoed a Yusen-N class cargo ship (6400 tons) well east of Legaspi, leaving it severely damaged and burning. The ship was carrying troops. Intel thinks the ship survived, and its big enough that it might have, but I think it's too far away from port to survive.
