Heap big fight at daylight 5-3 at Attu. All 3 USN BB's and San Francisco were ordered to bombard Attu and perhaps rough up some transports. Instead, they ran into the IJN CA's. I had placed them so they would arrive after daylight. This was a good decision as a daylight gunnery battle ensued and there weren't any annoying Long Lance thingys. Pennsylvania has 30% system damage but should be fine for bombardment duty, Alwyn was sunk and King is hurt. The IJN got hammered by the superior USN throw weight and armor. IJN is spotted at 17,000 yds by radar. Adm. Brown makes a turn and crosses the T when the haze lifts at 11,000 yds. That had to be a serious "Hory Shit!" moment aboard Nachi.
