That could mean they shipped in loads of AC recently. In case they used AKs the planes still are missing their nuts and bolts and show up as
aux. So could be a lot of fighters too.

Allied air at Nadi. I am surprised the P-40 jockeys are so motivated. If they knew what they were up against........

Don't forget that in about a week, you are going to lose 2/3 of your current Warhawk strength at Nadi (plus elsewhere). Those HQ detachments are due to be withdrawn at the beginning of July.

Aha! But what if we get them shot down first? That should put a bee in the bonnet of those greedy sob's in the ETO

That's the spirit! Use the Allied carriers to bait some torpedo-bearing patrol planes! What's the worst that could happen with a porous CAP and all? [8|]

Ah, I see you took your medicine. Glad to see you are feeling a bit more positive today. You didn't, by any chance take a double dose did you? [;)]

No turn yet. The old, familiar, cravings begin. A twitch here. A twitch there. A dampness on the upper lip.......

I've never known them to sink IN BETWEEN turns (except for Akagi..which did do that a couple of times).

Question for Lord Admiral Sprior. Did you watch the combat replay? What happened to the demi-flotilla of PT boats at Suva? Did JJ sink them with recon aircraft?

Clearly what is needed is a more energetic collection of carrier pigeons.

Mine are. I think the Warspite is the only major combatant the RN has lost so far, although not through lack of trying.

At least she appears to have taken Nagato with her into the deep. Formidable "took up up the chuff" from an I-boat but is now all patched up.
