44-1-6: KB moves deep into SoPac to distract the Line Island ops. What I consider to be a strong allied land based Nav air attack is destroyed by a 170 plane CAP near suva. TBs broke thru but could not score any hits.

Past two weeks John and I have run some training exercises around Line islands. I must say thanks to John.

Re: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd
Though I find it strange as to why John hasn't posted any operations reports recently. It's kinda strange, since his last one was for Dec. 13th and 14th.

Re: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd
most of the action will shift north to Seward. Alot of shipping and air power is located around Seward. Xmas falls with alot of casualties around Rangoon. A single IJN SCTF tries to get past PT pickets before the sun comes up. John email claims he has air cover in place. Note a CVTF around Chertoff island.

Re: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd
As the IJN SCTF gets closer to Seward it runs into more resistance. It gets past the PT pickets and runs in Ching Willis w 3CA and 4DD. After getting past Ching the IJN runs into 2 USN BBs for a real gunfight. Seems while the BBs fought it out Ching reloaded and came back later for some more w one CA and 4DD.

Bigred vs John 3rd, spanked at Seward
After the surface battles the sun comes up and the planes fly out of Anchorage and Seward looking for enemy ships.

Holy Moly! Four Allied DDs take down two CLs and three DDs for the loss of only one of their own! The Die Gods were in a very good mood that turn!

It SUCKED! Couldn't believe it. Those boys were super tough and really, really scored with their Torps.
