I have to share a rare bombardment success. Frankly I've never experienced this. I successfully intercepted a small Jap invasion fleet, but they were able to land 500 troops on Banjoewangi on Java. Since all I had at the base was a small Base Force, I bombarded with a significant fleet the next day to try support the base till help could arrive. To my astonishment, the bombardment wiped out the Japanese. I usually find bombardment has little effect on small ground units, so I found this quite surprising.

Of course in PBEM, there would be no attempt to defend Java.
