As you will see they have no dmaage whatever, but look at their endurance. If I try to refuel (they are at Pearl and there's loads of fuel) I get no response.....

I don't desperately need them, just wondeering if this was maybe one off?

Never seen anything like this, though...

Take out the Utah or disband and form new TF.

I don't think the program is able to distinguish between completely static and something that might be moved under tow. Still, one hex per turn is pretty close to static in my book.

Status: offline 		Why on earth did they include UTAH if they (1) Made her immobile, and (2) took away all her weapons? If the point was to have her present at PH to soak up torps, then why not have her "upgraded" the next day (if she survived) with her real stats?

Status: offline 		Hi, In order to attract torpedos she would need higher durabilty numbers. She is a low value target as modeled (we know that is correct but the intent is to fool the Japanese)

Didn't the scenario notes say "do not put into a TF"?

It was BB in earlier CHS versions, but it did attract too much Japanese ordnance then.
