11 May 1942

So little happened this turn there's no need to break it down by region.

Our Beauforts in Singapore attempted a strike against shipping in Kuantan; Zeroes and Oscars intercepted and we ended up trading 2 of our fighters for 1 of theirs; the bombers missed their targets.

Some B-17s fought their way through Oscars to bomb Ambon airfield for light damage.

At Keifeng, China, our forces are in contact with the enemy and begin their attack tomorrow.

Our subs laid mines near Batavia and Balikpapan.

There were lots of air raids elsewhere, but nothing opposed and nothing that did significant damage.

Reinforcements/Refits
CL Adelaide taken out of commission to begin refit at Brisbane (AA upgrade)
SS S-34 taken out of commission to begin refit at Brisbane (radar)
Repairs completed on DD Craven at Brisbane, ship returned to service (K-guns for depth charges added)
Repairs completed on DD Perkins at Los Angeles, ship returned to service (1 5" gun replaced with K-guns, .50cals replaced with 20mms, depth charge capacity increased, radars added)
Repairs completed on AM Cromarty at Aden, ship returned to service (AA upgrade)
AGP Jamestown arrives at Balboa
ZP-32 arrives at Alameda (2/8 ZPK blimps with radar. ASW night duty)
3rd USMC Parachute Battalion arrives at San Diego (full strength, restricted)
5th USN Naval Construction Battalion arrives at Port Hueneme (full strength, restricted)
15th NZ AA Bde arrives at Auckland (35% strength, restricted)

-Enterprise and Hornet have received 4 recently upgraded destroyers and are sending 4 back to port that need upgrades. Tomorrow they'll do the same with a cruiser.
-VS-6 on Enterprise transitioning from SBD-2 to SBD-3 (there are no longer enough SBD-2s to equip both her squadrons, VS-6's old aircraft will be VB-6's replacement pool)
