Breakthrough. MrKane(J) vs JocMeister(A)

[EHansen]

ORIGINAL: MrKane

Someone actually reading this ? Wow I will post tonight next 2 weeks.

Reading yes, but both sides so not much responding.

[wegman58]

More than one reading both sides and being quiet.

[Amoral]

When both sides are doing an AAR, probably both AARs get fewer comments, because the temptation to read from both sides is strong.

[MrKane]

Wow, thank all for morale boost.

[MrBlizzard]

Can you tell us more about the operation? Where are you landing in Fiji? Suva or Nadi? How many troops have you carried?
Thanks [:)]

[MrKane]

Situation Report June 13th 1942.

SS KIX fail to find good target and fired inaccurately two torpedoes at destroyer DD Hibiki.
Lackey for Japanese SS Gudgeon launches 6 torpedoes at CV Hiryu, all missed target.
Same with SS KXVIII attack at heavy cruiser Chikuma, 4 torpedoes missed target and the same happen to SS Searaven two torpedoes fired at destroyer Inazuma.

Due to poor shape of of RADM. Yamaguchi's carriers engines at morning he was 120 miles behind VADM. Nagumo's strike force. This could lead to major disaster, but Jocke decided to save our day.
Nagumo achieved completely surprise and 6:41am got reports about five enemy carriers. At this point Shokaku and Zuikaku fighters were already in flying to sweep Pago Pago airfield.
Four carriers were out of range of DB and at edge of range of TB, so Nagumo sent 77 Kate escorted by 121 Zeros at main carriers group and 9 DB escorted by 24 Zeros at alone carrier 80.

Result is rather poor. There is a few reasons for this outcome:
1) Kate pilot were trained in NavT, Asw, Nsearch, lack of NavyB skill.
2) I was complete surprised for me to by find-out allied carriers there, I was hopping for some fat AKs, APs docket at Pago Pago.

I have lost 5 Val, 31 Kate and 13 Zeros for no gain
