I just started my first CHS 1.02 game (PBEM) as Allies.
I noticed in PH a BB with no values. There's only the name, no guns, no endurance, no speed , ...
What is it? A decoy?

Thats the USS Utah - training ship (no guns). Only value is to soak up Jap torpedoes (as she did in real life). That should reduce some of your damage the real ships take.

Correct me if I wrong, Utah sunk after being hit by two bombs? No torpedo hits? Any torpedoes were pointed at it? I think it should be PG instead of BB to not soak too many bombs and torpedoes...

She was hit by one torpedo at 0801. She rolled and sank within 12 minutes.

Two torpedo bombers attacked the Utah, but the 2nd torpedo hit the cruiser right next to Utah. I think it was Helena or St Louis, but can't really remember.

The old Omaha class light cruiser Raleigh. Almost sank her also.
