I've decided to put the smaller ships into the shipyards first so that the most ships get repaired as possible and just pull up alongside the pier for everybody else. Also to dock the ships on fire to get them to stop burning. And when the floatation value gets below 30 I'll try floating the Pearl Harbor wrecks to the west coast shipyards. The one in Seattle already has a battleship in it's shipyard so it'll have to be somewhere else. SFO has a shipyard with a lot of ships being converted to other types but there may be room for a ship or two there.

That will definitely work. I'm not nearly as patient as you are. I get the SYS damage down to 15 and then as long as the float is below 60, I'll send the ship away ... on cruise with at least 4 DD's in the TF as escort and a 3 DD ASW TF attached as a rover. I like the East Coast RSY ... yeah it takes longer to get there, but it repairs quicker and then my WC yards are not stuffed for the first year with PH victims ...

Yeah, but the question I have is how much longer does it take to get to the EC.syrds after arriving at the wc.syrds. In other words, is it worth the time it takes to get there? I suppose it depends on the speed of the boats making the trip. I hadn't thought about the number of broken ships in the syrds on the wc. I was aware of the two battleships at Seattle. I put one in the syrd and sent the other BB to another nearby syrd. 2 BB's at Seattle was a tad bit too many tons at one time in the syrd. I don't quite remember which other syrd it was but I want to say Tacoma (?). That leaves other syrds that I'm not thinking right now to use. I'll look up what's available before too long.

For me, it's simply about having space at the WC RSY's for new ship damage. Those BB's are nice toys, but most of them are basically consigned to RSY until '43 between upgrades and repairs. So I send them to the EC until they are ready to be used for a span of longer than 60 days. Also, I want/need them to be ready for mid-43 when I am ready to start serious amphib ops. The allies don't have enough of much of anything until '43 rolls around ... in '42 I tend to play more cat and mouse as best I can.
