Largest invasion fleet to the day has left Pearl Harbor. It consists Central Pacific carrier forces (6 CV, 3 CVL and 15 CVE). There would have been 4 CVE more in PH, but I think 15 was enough...

Target: Ailinglaplap in Marshalls

O'Kane and Tang are bit annoying combination. USS Tang crew is not experienced enough yet to match O'Kane's ultra aggressiveness (massive skill he has, though). This will usually result quick damage when arriving to patrol area...

6 units isolated in Nanyang, 16 units couple hexes NE from there.

Will be interesting if you destroy the 6 Divisions in Nanyang - maybe the AI will send 6 more to try to retake the base. You wipe out the majority of IJA strength in China through its piecemeal commitment to battles.
