I'd like to know how many eventually sink.

Status: offline 		I will use vary starts all the time if my opponents agree to let me attack somewhere else if I so choose.

Can be a real game killer after spending many hours doing your first turn and then get bushwhacked by the Allied CV's.
That far from home KB is doomed if any take more than 30% flt damage.

Of course my crews use the "lets cut holes on the other side of the ship so the water will drain out" method of Damage Control.

I once tried for two hours to get HOME PLATE as the Allies. I may be a glutton for punishment, but I prefer such masochism to be confined to actual play.

Status: offline 		Lex looks to be in bad shape, but I'm guessing the Enterprise survived and can be repaired in about six weeks to two months. If you're a battleship fan, this is not a bad start as most of your BBs look like they were hardly scratched!
