well

the japs r using their carriers in direct support of ther troops right off the beachead

but with 5 BBs including yamato i do not dare send anything larger than a PT boat to attack

unlike at GC they wont just have E shells, they will also have AP shells, and if i use cruisers and destroyers against battleships with AP shells....
