Ozzies (landed extra battalion worth into Noumea) and Halsey will sort them out. Extra NZ brigade will be sent to Tahiti to sort that out too.

CV TF
CVE TF (covering the transports)
Bombardment TF
Surface combat TF
Amphibious transport TF (main assault force)
Floating reserve TF (similar to above, if initial assault is not successful enough)
Transport TF (supplies)
Transport TF (follow up to bring base forces and engineers after base is captured)

Remember: If it's worth invading, it's worth invading with a lot!

I max all the TFs with DDs, so no need for dedicated ASW TF.

Sometimes one needs minesweeper TF, but they also have integral ASW capability.

Lookig at their TOE, with 36 AT guns, they are better suited for defense of Australia proper against a Jap invasion involving tanks.

True, but there are plenty of other units...and they are now available. Not wanting to ship more units from USA to PM.

Another thing is, they draw from CMF squad pool, not from AIF squad pool, latter will be stretched with 4 AIF divisions drawing from it. CMF pool with only 1 div in possible combat should be enough.

I typically operate it in a TF on its own with a couple of destroyers or embed it in a slow BB TF.

Your cruiser TF really peppered Hyuga though, so well done.
