Notice the fact that the early morning Jap strike got mauled and the AAR claims a torp hit on the Lady Lex. Checking the damage on the Lex reveled no damage at all. Oh and the Yorktown has one system and one fire damgae form its bomb hits. I think that Kate that claimed that torp hit has some explaning to do. 'Course so do the Val pilots that claimed multiple bomb hits on the Lex. Lets just hope the 1000lbs I put into the Shoho was legit.
