December 15, Monday

Had quite an exiciting day today with AA offence four times and general quarters once of course two of the AA offences were for sunrise and sunset. In the morning a plane was sighted but it turned out to be one of our own PBY's [Patrol Bomber Y-"Patrol Flying Boat"] on patrol.

On afternoon watch (mine) we sighted a freighter and went to G.Q. [General Quarters] but it turned out to be a U.S.A.T.

The japs bombed Johnson Island and left it in flames today. They have been following us around all right Oahu, Wake, Manilla, Bagurio, Borneo (British though) and now New Guinea and northern Austrailia have been bombed.
