CV Lexington will propably not make it to safety or at least it will be out for a longtime. CV Hornet and CV Yorktown propably will survive but are in tire need of drydocks.
These damaged ships are now sailing towards Anchorage and are escorted by remaining US CV's and 1 Surface combat TF.

Japanese Naval fleet spotted... Aleutians heats up! - 
. His LBA strikes went first, broke up my CAP a bit, then his CVs launched and I got killed. Meanwhile, my own strieks were all but unescorted. Whatever. Moral of the story is to try to lure him into your own LBA net. If that doesn't work, then you wait until late '43 as you indicated.
