Once again my CVs found themselves involved in a surface battle. At least this time the escorts did a good job and protected the CVs. CV vs CV battle north of Japan was a draw.
When this is over you should find out what those 100 bomb hits did to the Musashi before she came out. (Were they all non-penetrating??)
I note two bomb hits on Japanese CV's, but none on American CV's. Advantage: Allies.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Once again one of my convoys took the shortest route to the HI and went right through enemy air space near Iwo and got sunk. My units are getting unwhieldy due to the amount of them so mistakes are being made. Bomber are being sent to shut down Iwo and Bonin.
CVs have been sent to the north of Japan in an attempt to find the last Jap CVs and BBs.

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits"- Darwin Awards 2003
Naha landing went better than I expected. The CD guns must have been taken out or starved. I had expected heavy losses from them. I lost 17 LST/LSM/LCI to mines.
I have decided to bring the follow up troops to Naha first and then move on. I am attacking with the troops I have there now. Hopefully the follow up landings will just be assisting with mopping up.

KB has been spotted (finally) between Iwo and Saipan. Shame on me for not keeping up my rear area naval searches. One CV group and lots of LBA have been sent to deal with the threat.
First Shindens were encountered by recon planes in the north. Could make for some good A2A before the war ends.

amazeing. you are bombing japan and his fleet into the dust and he still train 700 fighters in china instead of throwing them into the battle for japan. nice succes anyway, RUPD. and all that in february 45.
Probably prepping them for the "Final" Battle. If he threw them in piecemeal, the Allied air force would chew them up and spit them back out (which is probably what is going to happen anyway - regardless of the numbers of airframes he throws at him).
But, it'll make for great reading!
Never Underestimate the Power of a Small Tactical Nuclear Weapon...
More mopping up. The troops are loading for the final invasion of Japan. The war should be over in 2-3 weeks.
