Lt Cmdr M.D. Wanklyn is awarded the Distinguished Service Order for “For gallant and distinguished services in successful submarine patrols in H.M.S. Regulus”
25th November 1941
In night exercises off the Yaeyama islands, Haguro succeeds in using her radar to hide inside a squall and approach to within 7,000 metres of the carriers Zuihō and Hiryū before simulating a torpedo launch. The first that the carriers are aware of the attack is when Haguro's starshells burst over them. Despite protests from both captains, the umpires rule that both ships have been sunk alongside at least one of the escorting destroyers.
27th November 1941
A batch of 1,500 MG39/41 guns are issued to the German Army for troop trials. While externally similar to the MG34, this uses a different roller-locked action which permits higher rates of fire while being much simpler and cheaper to manufacture.
29th November 1941
Gloster delivers the first Jet Reaper aircraft to the RAF. Planned production is 6 per week for the rest of the year, hopefully increasing in 1942 as the supply of engines improves.
