jus playing the IJN as an experiment, and a challenge

also testing for squeaking

in any case

Enterprise and Saratoga will most likely sink, as enterprise has already taken at least 6 torps

sara has taken maybe 5

wasp has bomb damage

so, 3 USN carriers sunk or out of the war for a while

with only the Zuikaku taking heavy damage

shell spend sum time at truk with an AR

while the rest, with Admiral Inouye in command, will do as much possible

and wile the cruisers and destroyers attack the trannys and merchies off tulagi and GC

so

neway

obviously my carriers dont have much to worry about

they do need to replenish their airgroups tho

thers barely any kates or vals left

but

Enterprise and Sara will most likely sink
Wasp took a bit of bomb damage
and Hornet if shes around is outnumbered, icr if she was with them or not

i split the carrier force

i detached 4 battleships with cruisers and plenty of destroyers and theyre heading for tulagi to hti any remaining trannys

yamato is remaining with the carriers for now

but her guns will no doubt be deployed off GC, as the japs should have done

if yamato had been ther the Operation Watchtower might have gone differently
