fighters scored hits on five Japanese
destroyers, but failed to stop the

It did not say whether these three
were among the five damaged the
previous day or separate ships.
Normally the Japs load each de-
stroyer on such a mission with about
$50 men plus supplies. Reports
made no mention of transports, and
the Japs evidently expected as many
ships as possible to fight their way
