During the night, multiple small task forces of IJN destroyers are sent hunting the Allied Armada...first contact is in relatively clear waters south south west of Formosa. No Allied hits as the destroyers dance and weave from a distance.

Status: offline 		Daytime arrives, in a rain squall, the brave Tama attempts to deliver some torpedoes, 6K, then full speed to 2K on approach, but the Trenton fires a spread of torpedoes and one hits the Tama in the bow!

Destroyer Kagero comes port 6 degrees and launches her spread at the Trenton, and hits!

Tama attempts to disengage, but the rain dampens the smoke generated by Kagero and both ships are hit, but they hit back...just not enough.

Can the Tama get back to fighter protection or will she blunder into more Allied task forces?

Fixed that for you ...
It wouldn't be dignified to have one of HIJM's CLs flopping around helplessly. Sinking on a proudly even keel is an acceptable fate for one of HIJM's ships.

Status: offline 		I really butchered my plane r&d in this game, but I should get the Jack in about 20-25 days. I have decided to keep 10 factories on r&d for the J2M3 (dual cannon, sr 2) so I will get that fighter in less than three months after the Jack and yet have over 300 J2M2 in production from day one.

If I wouldn't have screwed up my r&d the J2M2 would have been flying for a month already!
