昭和17年1月8日、エスピリッツサント島のルーガンビルのヘクスで、SS RO-66がxAKL Nevadan相手に浮上砲戦を挑みました。23発の命中弾を得てheavy fires, heavy damageとなりましたが、沈没音は聞かれませんでした。昨日、このヘクスに多数の連合軍艦船が集結していることを哨戒機が発見し、とりあえず手近のSS RO-66を派遣したところ、この戦闘が起きたわけです。ここはソロモン諸島の日本側の根拠地であるガダルカナル島のルンガとその対岸のツラギに配置してある大艇の哨戒域内なのですが、いったいなにを企んでいるのでしょう? フィジー近海には連合軍のCA、CLがいますが、 RO-66が浮上砲戦を選択したことからも分かるように、このヘクスにはPCやAMといった商船を護衛する艦艇はいないようです。
商船が2日以上続けて同じヘクスに滞在しているということは、なんらかのLCUを揚陸していると考えるべきでなのでしょうが、昭和17年の1月にこんな場所に進出してくるとは。ルンガからは距離12ヘクスしかありませんが、ルンガもツラギも飛行場の規模はまだ0なので陸攻による攻撃は望めません。幸い珊瑚海には、ポートモレスビー攻略(6日に占領)の支援を終えた機動部隊がいるので、こちらに移動させることにしました。またナウルにいたCL基幹の水上艦隊も送り込むことにしました。到着まで長居してくれるといいのですが。
しばらく前から、スラバヤとバタビアがゼロ戦護衛付き陸攻の攻撃圏内に入ってしまったので、スラバヤ港とバタビア港には損傷艦艇(とは言ってもxAPやASなど大きめの艦船がまだいます)以外はいないようです。もうジャワ島から連合軍の巡洋艦クラス以上の水上戦闘艦はいなくなってしまったものかと思っていましたが、今日、ジャワ島南岸のTjilatjapに連合軍の水上戦闘TFの存在が報告されました。ジャワ島南岸にはTjilatjap以外にまとまな港がないので、ここに集結しているのでしょう。クリスマス島上陸に反応するつもりなのかも知れません。クリスマス島上陸船団はジャワ島南を航海中で、クリスマス島にあと2ヘクスまで接近しています。護衛の水上戦闘艦隊はそのままクリスマス島のヘクスまで同行・護衛させるべきなのでしょうが、つい手を出したくなってしまい、Tjilatjapヘクスへのパトロールを指示しました。同時に、バリ島デンパサールの南西のヘクスを航海中のジャワ島上陸船団第一陣を護衛しているCL基幹の水上戦闘TFもTjilatjapに向かわせてみました。さて、どうなることか。
