Status: offline 		Hi, playing an email game against Scout1. We're in the middle of 12/44. I just parked except for 2 CV's at Pearl all of my CV and CVL's in Manlia for some basic repairs and to upgrade the carrier aircraft and poof... they've vanished.There are also 21 CVE's missing from there and there aircraft were upgraded too. Any ideas... I've got thousands of turns under my belt and I've never seen or heard of this bug. Oh and this is stock with latest official patch.


Thanks for any input

Maybe it's fixable via the editor?

The most straightforward thing to do is probably go back a turn - which presents its own hassles as far as walking back Tracker data and such.

Since the TFs seem to have disappeared it might be worth checking the TF listing to see if those TF numbers still exist, then click on the TF number to go to it.
I have seen LCU and Industry icons and listings disappear when the AI has too much info to display and you just need to click the right icons and select one unit to get them to reappear.

Form a few task forces until the number drops below 1300 or maybe 1000 and your carriers should majically reappear.

That could be it - stack overflow caused by too much data to display in one port.

Is Victorious the only CV on this screen that you are missing? The 1000 ship limit only applies to ships disbanded in port.

If you got a report that squadrons upgraded, did you look for them? If they're on board the CVEs and you can bring them up then they are present. I take it you disbanded them when you say "parked". The 1000 ship limit applies.

The annoying part is that you cannot use the "next unit" buttons to go down the list of squadrons and do your adjustments. You have to exit to the ship and then choose the next squadron from the ship.

Thanks plund, we have a winner! As soon as the list of disbanded ships dropped below a 1000 ships the carriers all reappeared. Big thanks!
