How to read it
Selected working readings, not a complete certified translation. Same report family as M14 and M06, not independent corroboration. Its initial-contact entries differ from the narrative timing; neither is silently corrected. The report’s clock is not the American island clock. Early identifications are reports, not a final force inventory. The table records fighter take-offs and torpedo threats around the bombing; it is not a complete fighter-position plot. Precise bomb-hit counts and a complete internal damage reconstruction remain unverified.
