Le 20 on bombarde Kwajalein avec une flotte de surface et on a un gros enseignement.... il y a de nombreux canons sur place, un débarquement sera très préjudiciable pour mes transports, Roi-namur sera probablement un meilleur choix pour commencer....
Dans ma stratégie, je n'ai pas besoin de Kwajalein Island, car ma base de Tabiteuea sera ma base navale principale, par contre j'ai besoin de Roi-namur et de ses pistes pour faire une grosse base arienne.

23 Novembre 1942- une bien belle journée

2/1st Art.Mortar Regiment is loaded on a Japanese AK moving to Kendari.

Ma flotte est enfin arrivé à Kendari, même si la veille je n'avais plus repérè de navire dans le port.
Nous avons donc une bonne surprise, on tombe sur une flotte de transport de 25 navires, dont 15 escorteurs.....
Notre flotte de 2 croiseur léger et 1 croiseur lourd vont utiliser tout les canons disponible, incluant les batterie AA de 20mm qui vont littéralement déchiré l'escadre adverse.... Le bilan est rude, seul 3 navires survivront

Mais surtout nous envoyons par le fond une division complète a minima! 21000 pertes humaines seront enregistrés!

Une belle victoire pour nos forces, encore du à la même task force qui a mis en déroute la flotte à Koepang!
La flotte anglo-australiennes fête ici une magnifique victoire! après le déboire de notre flotte de vieux cuirrassés, celle-ci nous remonte le moral bien haut!
De plus la flotte rentrera tranquillement à Darwin!
