A little IJN sub hit my Lexington with a lucky fish. It has 40 sys, 37 flt and 13 fires! Is it toast? I'm just outside of Buna. The nearest port of any size is PM. What would you do to try to save her?

Repair floatation damage. Then send her to Cairns/Townsville
from there work your way to Rockhampton and from there Noumea. rest fighter groups in bases she is headed to so they can provide CAP.

Status: offline 		Hi, disbanding the TF will leave the AC on the CV. Once the flooding is reduced and fires put out. Lex will be able to provide her own CAP. It will take 4-5 days to get flooding to 0. If her Sys damage is below 50 she will be able to fly aircraft.

Status: offline 		I hate to send a Carrier back to Perl! If I leave her at a 9 port wont the sys damage be repaired quicker than it might take her to return from Perl?

System damage is repaired too slow and too random anywhere but Pearl. Send her back. You might get lucky and the AI will release another carrier. System damage affect speed I'll bet her speed is way down. You don't need her slowing down your TF. Also the computer may not let you keep her in a TF. The computer always breaks out the damaged ships.

A nice bonus is that she will come back bristling with those nasty 40mm and 20mm AA instead of the old 1.1" and MGs.

Now you know how the captains of the Wasp and Saratoga must have felt.
