Secure from Torpedo Defense. Set condition III in the Gunnery Department if circumstances permit. Words cannot express the feeling of pride in the performance of the entire crew in yesterday's attack. All hands performed splendidly and bravely. I hope to make the above rewards part of every officer's and man's record.
All divisions check and renew fire-fighting gear as necessary.
Check all CO2 bottles near areas of fire yesterday and turn in empty bottles to CO2 shop over fantail for refilling.
