In North Africa... The Free French forces still hold Bir Hachiem against heavy attacks by Rommel’s forces. During the night, 2700 of defenders are evacuated.

At the Panama Canal... The carrier USS Wasp and battleship USS North Carolina accompanied by cruisers and destroyers pass through the canal to join the US Pacific Fleet after service in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. There are now four American fleet aircraft carriers in the Pacific theater.
