23 Janvier 1942 
Bataille de la mer Banda
La flotte ennemi repart vers le nord c'est ce que j’attendais. en cours de route elle attaque encore quelques navires, mais cette fois j'arrive à abattre un A6M2... même si je perd 2 chasseurs P-40.. Ma flotte de croiseur se place sur la route probable de retraite pour une intervention le lendemain. 10 Navires doit normalement composer la flotte nippone.

La aussi la flotte aéronavale nippone frappe encore et on ne peut rien n'y faire... 14 Navires coulés, certes vide mais quand même ça fait mal. En général je dois toucher 3/4 XAK par jour donc en moins de 5 jours je remplace les pertes fort heureusement.
