We lose..but considering the firepower arrayed against Noumea. It might have been worse. Hory crap! Ensign McGoo either didn't see this coming or thought it was a fishing boat.

(Notice I resist the urge to make a running away joke, eh?). A fat target with an entire regiment embarked and they send 3 Kates? They all have torps. They all hit the same ship. The ship doesn't sink.

No CAP over Noumea either. This means the airfield is shut down. Crap.

So how exactly do those orders read?

CAPT of British Columbia "Read that part again, ensign..."

Seems like they would need carriers. Maybe the Australian brigades arriving in Aden should come down to Oz. Perhaps the RN too.

Of course, that might be what they want us to do.

Technically don't know but I see messages scroll by near the end of the turn, so I think it is intended to include that day's work: so say at the end.

That's President Buchanan, Fleet Admiral Mandrake.





You mean the worst President ever according to the Time 2008 poll (and others).

Nice, sexy updoo though.



Why yes, according to 2008 poll. I shall say no more on the matter.




19th century presidents got an AP named after them. Modern presidents seem to get a CVN. Of course, the Navy could always change things up.

"Well Senator, I have to hand it to you as this is quite a novel suggestion. I understand that the smaller sized Navy had limited the number of named ships, but to propose naming the CHT tanks on currently named CVN's after special 'Dignitaries' is brilliant."
