ORIGINAL: augustinus Is it possible? ... Appreciate any imput. Thanks. reading an AAR, i discovered Cribtop Lifeboat Doctrine. as your convoy loads, create another TF w/ an empty AP-type, set to merge w/ the troop-carriers. this ship will pick up (disrupted) survivors from a sunken ship, or perhaps it will soak up a bomb or torp that might otherwise have hit a loaded ship. Otherwise, i don't think there's any way to xfer devices from a loaded ship 'at sea', it can only off-load at a port. In your present case, is it possible to rush an empty ship to merge w/ your cripple? It might get there in time to pick up some floaters. damaged ships often get auto-transferred to an Escort TF, an undamaged escort-type will be added if available. Balance this advice w/ the threat-level, but: - if the ship is on fire, stop its movement (by setting TF dest to current hex & remain on station = ON) & add another escort-type to aid fire-fighting. - if the ship has heavy float damage & heavy sys damage, stop it to allow best damage-control repair. you've got to get the sys damage down, so the pumps can cope. - if the ship has hvy float damage, set the TF to cruise speed. mission or full speed will add to the float damage, you risk foundering, as well as adding time to repair (if you make it to port). - head for the nearest port, disband there to repair the non-major damage, then head for home (repair shipyard) at cruise speed. when possible, ensure that a unit is loaded onto >1 ship, so that if one of them sinks, the unit can be rebuilt from replacements.
