It is quite amusing name for a submarine (or any vessel)...I had to check from dictionary..

Also amusing is, during service in Med, it sunk German merchantman Virginia S. Truant.

Over here, kids not going to school are said to be 'playing hooky'. Not to be confused with playing hooker.

Looks like Akagi and Kaga are gone and Kirishima is on the way to join them! Well done!
You have a lot of CAs with those two carriers - you could make a SCTF to go hunting the IJ remnants and possibly get an invasion TF for Coff's Harbour (although that location would trigger Aussie reinforcements so it might be north of Brisbane). Oh, and 'Release the Wirraways!'

Sardaukar · Post by **Sardaukar** » Thu Nov 21, 2024 12:53 pm

Battle was definitely resounding Allied victory. On the other hand, neither Akagi nor Kaga appear on sunk list and they were hit only by bombs... So, there is chance they might survive.

Sardaukar: Battle was definitely resounding Allied victory. On the other hand, neither Akagi nor Kaga appear on sunk list and they were hit only by bombs... So, there is chance they might survive.

I think your search aircraft would have found them if they were in the area, and the number of bomb hits they got likely slowed them down a lot. Also, if there were secondary explosions of fuel or ammo that would almost guarantee their demise from fire. One of the excellent early players of the game, witpqs, once posted that he considered a fuel explosion the equivalent of 2 x 1000# bomb hits and an ammo explosion to equate to 3 such hits. That seems about right to me.
