Historically SW Pacific covered the war in PM/Buna and South Pacific based in Noumea covered the war in the Solomons. I move SW HQ N. to Townsville or so and get South Pacific to Noumea. Your concerns about defending Noumea are valid. I struggle with the decision to reinforce PM with every free unit or leave some in Noumea. Ref. plethora of AK/AP/AO/TK. I recommend you get them back to the big supply bases in Indian and West Coast and start pushing big supplies to Oz first then Pago Pago then Hawaii. I convert a huge amount of 7000 AK to AR, MLE and AV as soon as I can. 4 x MLE with surviving DMs can save the US if the Japanese push hard in the E. Pacific. Having 10 - 15 AR in PH, Seattle, SF, LA and SD will get the US fleet back in action, especially subs in PH, very quickly. I try to get the damaged BB from PH back in the mix by OCT '42. You need a lot of AR that arrive in JUN '42 (180 turns after PH raid) to make this happen.
