Darwin Raid
The cover roll of Port Moresby is over and KB moved through Arafura Sea and suddenly raided Darwin.
My whole ABDA fleet is refueling and replenish at Darwin and the losses are huge!
I lost Houstan, Cornwall, Boise and many other good ships. I didn't provide any air cover for this fleet because I din't expect any air threat in this area. I forgot KB apparently...
