It's that damn Boise (Brooklyn class) that fragged alot of those Japanese ships...Something about 15 x 6"/47 guns...IIRC it's armored like a CA almost too, the reasoning for classifying it as a CL was the gun size though if memory serves. It displaced 9,700 tons, which to me is well into the CA weight catagory.

What a waste of good Japanese CA's, oh well...[:'(]

God do I love a good shotgun. [:D]

In fact CL Boise and Marblehead escaped. CA Haguro and CL Java sunk from naval damage. Only CL Tromp was picked up by Nells.

If the is no other raid on Entreprise, she'll have no difficulties to escape. We'll see
A damaged ship is only a missed opportunity
