Weather was rain for IJN strike, and partial cloud for the ABDA strike.

30 minutes warning for the Allies, only 15 minutes for the KB.



So the CAP ...
15 mins ... 80 AC showed up, so at best 1/3 aloft, 1/3 on ready 5, the rest 20 mins. So 27 aloft, and 27 more able to attain altitude in time ...
but what if they did a Midway ... got sucked down to the TB's and didn't interfere enough with the DB\s before they tip over ....
all conjecture as there isn't enough detail here, but certainly looks as though something bad happened ...

About 12 bombers get thru, 2 hits total on 2 diff carriers, Shoho will probably burn up.

Allied surface fleets expected to surge into Cam Ranh Bay and Saigon tonight, along with 30-40 subs.

Here a sub. There a sub.

Subs, subs, subs, .... subs, subs, subs! There are green subs here. There are brown subs there. Here a red sub!




The Shoho is burning! Other carriers are flooding! Oh my!

Pumps are failing on the Shoho! I bet the fires are burning bright, a beacon to the subs that want to come and kiss her in the night!

Breaking news...this just in...flash...pumps fail again on the Shoho!

The Iboat sent to pick up pilots blunders into a mine and now has 93% flooding. Oh my! It is a good thing I really enjoy trying to save stricken IJN ships.

I don't see it, but I bet the Shoho is still burning and her pumps are failing some more.

The Shoho! Brave Shoho! Shepherded by two destroyers low on fuel (and ASW cans) breaks off and makes for Saigon, and her shipyard, and her naval repairmen that have cushy barracks made by the French.

Oh, so close to foundering. So close.

Gee, all the subs show up during the day...the KB makes Cam Ranh Bay.




All those Allied subs. Dutch, British, Yank and Red...so frustrated they didn't get to kiss anyone last night...

Seeing how she isn't a Russian sub, I bet she would sink if hit by a broadsheet from a propaganda run.

Oh, and he probably thought that you might (not that you'd do anything THAT sneeky!) have every Betty and Nell you have waiting for him to do exactly that.

Well done on the Shoho!

A shore bombardment run, with little chance of running into enemy shipping is perfectly fine to get as many guns onto the beach.

I can remember once having the Chicago in port at Java, with 99 sys damage hit daily by bombs and not sinking...against the AI.

Anyhow, have to wait for the next turn to see what happens to her. I suspect the minor flooding will get pumped first...perhaps not. It is up to the repair manager to determine the fix priority.

Is it?
The manual 14.2.1.1 doesn't make it sound like there is much "determining by the repair manager" but a very simple and fixed order.

Or has this been changed later?

I will take a snapshot of her damage over time with the next turn.

Read Alfred's excellent ship repair 101 for details. Time for me to re-read it as it is chock full of facts that I frequently forget that I knew once.
