Yeah. It is almost like Andy wants Japan to lose or something.

High drama, as the BB Texas and CA Swayback sortie with lots of destroyers in an attempt to rescue a large merchant convoy with the goal of resupplying Luzon.

The convoy is finally chased down and destroyed, CA from Fifth Carrier Divison, the Battleship Division (3BB) and three smaller squadrons, I and R boats and one of the CVE CS carrier divisions were involved in the chase, but now the Texas looms. IJN intelligence leads us to believe the Texas is a WW1 battlewagon, but the Swayback is unknown.

Japan is really struggling with search planes. The inability to reassign restricted units and resize air units really hurts quite badly. The upside is there is a strong air force in Honshu if comprised mostly of older air frames.

I bet dollars to donuts that the sinking of the Cleburne by Iboat robbed the Tarawa Invasion force of their air cover. Could have been a totally different outcome but for that fortuitous encounter.

Status: offline 		Texas and Swayback are gone...hiding somewhere. Admittedly Japanese search and recon is weak in this area. It will be a cat and mouse game. Nagato and company to the east and the Carrier Divisions 1 & 2 to the west.

The better AMC's are heading here to help setup a patrol around the Philippines so no future convoy can get so close. Not sure that really matters on very hard, but it just makes great sense for better interior warding in case something slips thru the glaring cracks in my perimeter. So here is a novel use of them, at least for me.

But then there is Tarawa to worry about, too.
