So. Were-ah they set for extended range with drop tanks from the right sized airfierrd with torpedoes for the bombers, etc. etc.? Why did they not-ah fry?

[draws wakazachi waiting for 'I don't-ah know' answer from Captain-san]

[Cap Mandrake]

Rever 4 AF with 200 torpedoes and rots of Japan-mens for oir changes and the rike. Prus every Daitai have crazy mofo in charge and arr of Zeroes have drop-ah tanks. Arr of pranes on same airfierd with-ah same commandah that-ah even more crazy than mofos in daitais.
Everyone set on same artitude. Arr of bombahs Bettys

Even recon aircraft from 21st Air Frotirra.
