CENTPAC
Landings continue at Truk. 2 destroyers, 2 AKAs, and an APA have sunk from damage sustained by coastal batteries.

Truk's guns also got a B-24 today. Right now the B-24s are focusing on hitting the airbase to try to disrupt any re-basing of enemy aircraft to mess with my amphibious operation. The Avengers are hitting ground forces to try to disrupt the guns.

A pair of my DMs laid a minefield at Truk just in case they try to reinforce by sea and my carriers have to back off.

We made an initial attack with our reinforced Truk invasion force and dropped the forts down a level to Level 5 (ouch). Casualties surprisingly light at 613(J) to 240(A). It's almost all REMF enemy troops here.

USS Bonefish made an attack on Zuiakaku at Saipan and missed. The sub was severely damaged in a depth charge attack afterwards. Not sure she makes it home. USS Cod was also detected sneaking around Saipan but got away with light damage.

Reinforcements
DD Clarence Bronson arrives at Balboa
DD Stembel arrives at Eastern USA
