RE: The "Peaceful" Ocean aint so peaceful! Marky VS Divebomber Scen 15
*PacFleet HQ, Pearl Harbor*
*LT Ryan walks in*
Ryan: Good morning sirs. we have a few reports for you, as well as a sighting report of the enemy carriers, they appear to be about 20 miles southwest of us, heading west. Theyre also about 180 miles northeast of Johnston...
*Nimitz and Marky look at each other*
Nimitz: The carriers. Do you think they know?
Marky: Maybe, but it could be coincidence. All the same lets let Halsey know theyre not far off and he should haul ass outta there.
Ryan: Yes sir, i figured thats what youd say, so i already ordered them to full speed out of the area.
*Marky and Nimitz nod*
Marky: Well done Lieutenant.
Ryan: Thank you sir.
Marky: Now gentleman, what do you think their intentions are? Assuming theyre not looking for our carriers.
Nimitz: Well it depends. They might be heading for the south pacific, they could eventually head back to japan, they could be heading for the philippines, they could be heading anywhere.
Ryan: Oh sir, i know its not exactly my call, but i ordered Halsey to detach a few ships and send em nort, try and decoy the japs away from our carriers. Its only a few ships, but the japs might go after em.
*Marky raises an eyebrow*
Marky: Big gamble Lieutenant.
Ryan: Yes sir.
Marky: Well gentleman all we can do is wait. Any good news?
Ryan: Most of the allied ships in the Phillippines and the DEI are well into their journeys to Australia. Some are stopping at Soerbaja to refuel, then theyll head southwest away from the area to Brisbane
Marky: What about the rest of the Pacific?
Ryan: No hard clues yet sir.
Nimitz: Im concerned about the south pacific, and the lines to australia.
Marky: Indeed. Any hard intel about that Lt?
Ryan: Im afraid not sir. Although it is reasonable to assume they might be cookin somethin up for us.
Marky: Hmmm. Well what do we have that can protect the lines to Australia?
Nimitz: Not much in the way of naval air or ground boss.
Ryan: We do have a few Marine Def Battalions sir, theres 2 i believe here at Pearl and another at Sanfrancisco.
Marky: Well lets get them ready to ship out.
Ryan: Yes sir.
NImitz: I assume youre going to concede Wake?
Marky: Yes, Wake is gone for now. But we do need to keep the lines to Australia open, and i think they might use all this chaos here for a rush and grab, kindof a naval blitzkrieg. Hell thats what id do. I only wish we had as many carriers as they did.
Nimitz: I agree with that, from what recon and patrols tell us they seem to be doing the same thing in the Phillippines.
Marky: So we need to hold onto Palmyra, Canton, Fiji, Noumea, and whatever else is along that line, that HAS to be safeguarded.
Nimitz: Agreed, what about the PI? or the DEI?
Marky: Lost cause Chet, lost cause. We cant hope to hold and defend them much less supply them that close to the home islands. Thats why every ship we got is hightailin it outta there. Were gonna keep our planes there as long as possible to cause attrition though. Maybe we can hurt em and keep em off balance. the thing is gentleman that we definitely have to pick our battles carefully. We cant let them force us into a fight, even for something we know we shouldnt lose.
Nimitz: So what do we do? How do we fight this war?
Marky: Very carefully Chet, very carefully...

RE: Biplanes not obsolete yet!
*PacFleet HQ, Pearl Harbor, Office of CINCPAC, Adm Marky*
*knock knock*
Marky: Come!
Lt Ryan: You sent for me sir?
Marky: Yes i did Lieutenant. Have a seat if you like, this shouldnt take long
*the young Lt takes a seat, peering at the strategic map on the Admirals wall that matches the one in the War room*
Marky: You made a good call with the carriers today Lieutenant.
Ryan: Thank you sir, it seemed the smart thing to do.
Marky: Indeed, indeed. I have a job offer for you Lt...
Ryan: Sir?
Marky: Id like you to be permanently attached to this office, and to be Chief Intelligence And Operations officer to Adm Nimitz and myself. I looked in your file and you seem to have a knack for intel. Like myself you seem to like the prcoess that goes with it, and using what you got and dont got. Anyway whaddya say?
Ryan: Absolutely sir.
Marky: Excellent. It takes effect immeadiately, as does your new rank of Commander.
*Look of surprise on Ryan's face*
Ryan: Thank you sir, i wont let ya down.
Marky: i know ya wont, Lieu, hah, COMMANDER. But also, if you see something that dont look right, and you feel the right call is to have a bit of doubt, then dont hesitate, use your common sense like you did with the carriers. Id rather have an officer usin his head and makin a good call than worrying about getting in trouble, ya know?
Ryan: Absolutely sir.
Marky: With that said, is there anything new?
Ryan: Quite a few things sir, some good some bad.
Marky: Lets have a look.
*they walk out into the war room and look at the strategic theater map*
Ryan: Well sir, ill start with the good news...
Saratoga is setting sail from Sanfrancisco tomorrow morning and she should be here in about 5 days. weve got 2 convoys formed up right here in Pealr with the 3rd and 4th Marine Deff Battalions, and theyll head out soon for Palmyra and Canton Islands within a few days. A few torpedo bombers managed to put a fish into what we believbe was the Haruna off Malaya, she was reported to be on fire. The Australian Navy is beginning to form up with what theyve got at and around Brisbane.
As for the bad news sir...
First, were picking up alot of traffic at Rabaul, Shortland, Guadalcanal, and Truk, as well as just west of Rabaul.
Marky: Hmmmmmm.....
Ryan: And weve also lost track of the enemy carriers...
Marky: Damn.
Ryan: Yes sir, im trying to start up a patrol net, from Pearl, Midway, Palmyra, Canton, Fiji and Johnston, but as you know we dont exactly have a surplus of Catalinas, and while we have quite a few B17s in and around Pearl and on the west coast...
Marky: tjheres only a few airfields at the moment that can support them...
Ryan: Yes sir, except Midway, i plan to shift some B17s there to help form the net, and then send the PBYs that are already there down to the South Pacific
Marky: Good
Ryan: the bad thing is untill we get definitive intel on where the enemy carriers are, Halsey is gonna keep runnin south at flank speed...
Marky: And eventually run outta fuel
Ryan: Yes sir.
*Marky sighs*
Marky: i wish we had more
RYan: Of what sir?
Marky: HMMF! EVERYTHING Commander. PBYs, boats, carriers.
Ryan: Yes sir, but well do our best.
Marky: Indeed, we just have to hope that our best will be enough....
