Wellington Naval battle! ______________________________________________________________________________ Did NOT see this coming. Pretty annoyed with "Ching" and his CAs right now... Although some of it is mt fault. I had detached 4 DDs from his force to hunt (make the sub shoot all its TTs) 2 subs sitting outside Wellington. Perfect timing on Toms part. 0% moonlight and apparently every allied radar set failed this night. So the battle started at 1000 yards... Could have ended much, much worse for me so I should be happy really. quote:

Only the B25s fly and fail to score any hits. Losses are about even which in reality is an allied victory. Besides the listed losses I´m pretty sure Sendai will sink and DD Kagero too. No allied ships are at risk of sinking. Now I just need to get the hell out before those CAs crash the party. Then again the air threat might scare Tom away.
