If I am reading things correctly both the Davao and Jolo convoys are Medium and so need a minimum of 4 Destroyers each.
The Eastern Attack Force starts with:
2nd Destroyer Flotilla – Rear Admiral Raizo Tanaka (Veteran)
IJN Jintsu Sendai class CL
15th Destroyer Division, 2nd Destroyer Flotilla
IJN Natsushio Kagero class DD
IJN Hayashio Kagero class DD
IJN Kuroshio Kagero class DD
IJN Oyashio Kagero class DD
16th Destroyer Division (-), 2nd Destroyer Flotilla
IJN Amatsukaze Kagero class DD
IJN Hatsukaze Kagero class DD
Which is a total of 6 Destroyers, so only enough for Davao or Jolo.
Am reading this I correctly?
