Thanks Nigel,
Excellent link! First time seeing pics of Ulitihi. Major USN base in 1944-45. Capturing it in the game is another tough ball game. [:D]

Too bad there is no separate rating for anchorage in WiTP:AE. Better luck next time...

There's a character on American TV--SNL--named Debbie Downer . . .

Great Pics. Notice the USS Essex (CV-9) never changed her color scheme from 1943. The only Essex-class to do so.

Very cool pics. A lot of power there. [X(]
This one looks like it might be enterprise on the right hand side.

I'm pretty sure it is, the only two carriers with long islands at that point were the Enterprise and the Saratoga and it's easy to spot a Lexington. They had the most distinctive island of any carrier.
I make out three Independence class in the picture. CVEs had a similar island, but the Independence were the only small carriers that ran with the big dogs.
