[marky]

both lex and yorktown are under way

heading for noumea

theyre not that bad off

[marky]

CVL Shoho most likely useless possible sink

moderate damage to 2 USN carriers

light to moderate damage to IJN CarDiv5

invasion turned back

a US ID about to land at Gili Gili

seems like a Tactical AND Strategic victory for the USN, tho they lost sum good planes and pilots

cept the difference is the USN can replace em, japs cant....
