P.S. - I just got an e-mail from J3 with the new turn... Larry gets it first BUT to confess I have been instigating John with trash talk in the e-mails (honest, he started it first!  )
I questioned the advisability of bringing his depleted CV Tf in range of my "Death Star" at Johnston Is... Truth is it was the Enterprise TF as the other 3 CV's somehow got thier fuel depleted between S.D. and Pearl Harbor... so they are in Drydock for up to 3 weeks with damage!
john is claiming round one is his - I will have to see the replay, but I fear 1 CV may be a new fish hatchery...<sigh>
