I thought airgroups set to Naval Interdiction will attack TFs only and nothing else? ^^

To make AC conduct a port attack you to have to set a mission target in their home base or CV TF, navy(?) aircraft tho seem to be capable of port attacks by default.

Only aircraft can attack ships disbanded into port. TF's can't. Bombardment only hits grounded aircraft, ground troops and the depot.

Note that submarines always have a 100% chance of escaping.

The Napoleonic maxim, "He who defends everything defends nothing"...

That would be Frederick the Great, not Napoleon.

<t> AFAIK TFs may get a PP bonus if they start from a base where their parent HQ is located and if that HQ is prepping for the base being attacked. Ground troops may also get a readiness bonus (they start with 72 readiness after landing based on some mysterious "MacArthur´s in good mood-soltice ...

If you absolutely need more carriers you are better off investing your scarce shipyard points into accelerating Unryus and skip all conversions.<br/>

contrary to popular belief conversions are always done on the LAST day of the month, starting with 12/31/42, then 01/31/43... 02/28/43 etc,

Tirpitz?

As already mentioned above auto-disband takes place at the of a turn, all TFs set on auto-disband may be subject to air attack during the air phases, so basically you cant use this "feature" to save ships from (naval) air attack.
