Clowned at Diego Garcia

Indian Ocean
After weeks of naval bombardment, we finally landed troops to try to retake Diego Garcia--over a division strong--only to find the base completely evacuated. I'd been trying to keep an eye on it with submarines as it's too far to observe by aircraft. Well, that didn't work out.

CENTPAC and Truk
The KB is adding its bombers to raids on Tinian, at little cost to themselves because our troops don't have anything left to shoot at the planes. If the haven't made an appearance before--Jill torpedo bombers are included.

USS Snapper was bombed by a Jill on patrol; the Jill was also damaged by the sub's AA guns.
