26 February 1943

9 Nicks intervened in our daily B-26 raid on Babar, 3 were shot down (1 by Wildcats, 2 by P-38s) but they got 2 Wildcats.
Rabaul continues to take a pounding. Moderate base damage and a Betty destroyed on the ground

27 February 1943

Frustrating day for the Silent Service
- Two tanker convoys spotted (by Amerjack and Halibut) and engaged near Japan. Only got one hit, and it was a dud
- The S-45 was caught in shallow water by a PB and depth charged for moderate damage. It's returning to base for repairs.
The ships in the Bay of Bengal seem to be coalescing in one hex. Why are they doing that in range of my Catalinas?
No B-26 raid on Babar this turn, just a sweep. Got 4 Nicks.

28 February 1943

USS Steelhead and Snook tried to engage 2 more tanker convoys; Steelhead was spotted first, Snook fired 4 and missed.
We've lost contact on all enemy ships in the Bay of Bengal.
I've got a sub sniffing around Marcus plus PBY patrols trying to find the carrier task force that sank the LST; they've disappeared.
