In the period before Overlord and after Salerno
a narrow window existed that could have allowed 
an allied assault on the Bay of Bengal

This would have circumvented the need for attacks 
through the Jungles of Burma and presaged an 
early Dracula or Zipper.

Japanese forces are expected to be weak but then so 
are Allied forces as no US Carriers are committed to
the fight and only elderly allied Battle Ships and Royal 
Navy Carriers are available


This scenario explores what might have happened if
the Royal Navy tried to wrest control of the Bay of 
Bengal from the Japanese in 1943
