Battle of Port Moresby
I intended to let 4th Div strike Port Moresby.
Because, I knew that there were not his carriers near.
His carriers were witnessed near Wake.
However, he sent reinforcement to Port Moresby, too…
1/3/1942
Two xAK burnt by the bombing of the enemy. They are not saved.
And I found his TF.
I judged that his TF was weak. (However, this judgment was a mistake.)
Then, I divided surface TF into two.
I think that few ships is better at battle of the night of this game.
I made a mistake.
CL Kashima have included in (2)TF
CL Kashima and CL Katori is very slow, but Since they were preceded by a battleship, I think there is no problem.
1/4/1942
Battle of Port Moresby
War potential
Allied Ships
CA Pensacola, CA Australia, CA Canberra, CL Perth, two DDs
Japanese Ships
(1)BB fuso, BB yamashiro, CA furutaka, DD
(2)CA Kako, CL Kashima, two DDs
(3) Amphibious CL katori, DD
Result
Allied Ships
1 CA sink, 1 CL sink, 1 DD sink. 1 AM sink, 4 xAKLs shink
Japanese Ships
CA Furutaka half damage.
4 xAK sink (Including victims of bombing or landing)
Damage was not small.
However, Port Moresby is an important place.
Some sacrifices are unavoidable.
Do you know:
4th Div has long history(since 1888). Although 1888 became an army division, it is fighting from the time of Southwestern Rebellion. Moreover, it is famous as an army division of Osaka. Headquarters were near Osaka Castle. The building of headquarters still remains.
I lived in Osaka for six years. Therefore, I like and employ 4th Div. There is the big graveyard of the army in Osaka Persons who belonged to many 4th Div is sleeping in “Sanadayama” graveyard of the army. “Yukimura Sanada” made the “yama(hill)” for the battle in 1614. Therefore, it is called the Sanadayama. The grave is a very important place to learn the history. I visited this grave to learn the history. This is a photograph at that time.
