Cribtop boat comes immediatly to my mind. Its adding an additional empty transport into a TF for picking up survivors if a troop transporter is sunk.
Oh, THAT'S what those things are called.

Pretty much what I did to down a few zeros over Moresby, that and Ki-43s.
If you send 200, you pretty much get 4-5 damaged 1 destroyed B-17 in exchange for 4-5 fighters shot down.

I've seen it used to refer to any late-war Allied concentration. For example the late-war USN Fast Carrier Force (which often operated as a 'Allied Death Star' historically). Or throwing all six USMC INF Divisions at something.

The phenomenon of grouping 8 Essex class together in one hex resulting in a CAP of 200 Corsairs and 100 F6F's [:)]
Jap planes are drawn in to their death by the gravitational pull.
