Unless you subscribe to academic publications and the Journal of Military History, probably not. His last book was actually not on the RN but the antebellum buildup in England. Although last we spoke he was working on a book on the FAA, which I ...

I've been away for a while; did the master plan ever get unveiled?

Holy crap! Only just glanced at this again, a year late.

There actually wasn't an Invincible in WWII, so Wren Goodhead's charms must have befuddled the 1SL even more than he realized.

What happened with the IJN cruisers at Singapore?

Intercom Voice, Sexretary (probaby with ample bosom):

Quite the typo.

So, what're the words, Thunderbirds?

"None but brave deserve the fair."

Did you address the gemeyness aspect with them?

Yes, that seems like it ought to be brought up. I don't recall the scout AKs being so decisive at Savo Island.

Historically speaking, of course, the loss of Ceylon would have been an immense blow to the Allies; it was the last major source of natural rubber available to the allies, and its loss likely would have caused the collapse of Churchill's government.

So here’s the deal. You are IJN Rear Admiral Kurita.

I think I've spotted the problem.

I'd just like to say, before all bets are in, that your grand plan is invading Tokyo.

As an aside, there were serious proposals to organize all the British and American carriers in the Pacific into a super-task force in about April or May of 1942. The Somerville Papers mention it several times.

Indeed. BRHugo, you're doing a fine job. You have a splendidly readable AAR here.

<t> Respectfully, I must differ with my esteemed colleague. Where's the nearest base the IJN carriers can retire to for repairs? Any serious damage puts them in grave danger, and will likely force them to retire. The enemy must be overreaching himself, and if he loses control of the air over Pearl ...
