Meanwhile Haruna sank again (on Dec 7, 1941)...Zuiho and Ryujo are in mint condition. [:D] With the loss of B5N1's this is probably Ryujo accounting for the "ground losses". We can dream it was Hiryu but I doubt it. The B-17D squadrons in Suva are seriously grumpy. Can't imagine why.

witpqs -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (6/30/2015 4:05:11 PM)
What's the plane capacity for Ryujo? Considering planes previously lost and not on the carrier, I'm wondering if that is too many planes for her. Hope for Hiryu...

What you can generally rely upon...almost...are the plane counts in the mouseover. For the ship identification..not so much. Clearly we have a problem with conservation of mass. It is somewhat hard to believe that Ryujo could recover that many planes after getting the hory crap kicked out of her by Warspite. We may still have a crippled Ryujo and Hiryu went under.

************************06:00, Feb 3, 1942(e), USN Seaplane base, Tanna****************** Ensign McGoo: Is th-th-th-th-their any mo-mo-mo-mo-more coffee si-si-si-sir? Lt. Black, CO, VP-21:** I think you've had quite enough, McGoo. Listen up guys, these are hot-shot Zero jockeys. If you see something, get in the clouds and make your report. Also, consider this. The Imperial Japanese Navy has 6 CV's and one was just confirmed torpedoed up by Tokyo so if you think you see more than 5 you're going to have some 'splaining to do. The cardinal feature of the carrier is the flat top. That is why they are called "flat tops". Got it?

It is Feb 3rd 1942 and the entire KB is limping along somewhere southwest of Fiji; with no decent port to go to, nothing to strike, and probably short on fuel and sorties. I get that the US Navy has taken some losses, but what are the Brits up to in the IO?

Hiryu is reported sunk yesterday but no aircraft ground losses reported. Seems more likely it sunk the day before or it isn't sunk and the Japs want us to think so or perhaps our own recon guys are working for M&M Enterprises or perhaps I made all this up or perhaps the AI made it all up. There now seems to be a giant death star of carriers with a huge aircraft complement. Probably Akagi and the CVE have merged. The other carrier TF's are gone and there is no sign of the SCTF's wee encountered last night? [image]local://upfiles/7983/B868F9889C05434FBA78AA92D132AB0E.jpg[/image]
