I believe BBfanboy may be thinking of the Charleston?

Got the turn...from Japan secret communication...haven't run the turn yet: Ouch, I can see why you were excited about that turn. Another turn like this and you will have to change your title on your AAR :-)

Much more comforting fighting IJN ships knowing the big damage dealers have been expended.

New Years Eve, 1941 A three destroyer squadron intercepts a juicy task force at Jesselton, gets a torpedo hit that fails to detonate, and the IJN craftily manages to withdraw for now... [image]local://upfiles/44178/FC71FE4D6E864088B73258B7938BE635.jpg[/image]

TF Australia reacts to and pursues the IJN fleet...catching it, closing the Perth damages the patrol boat escorts that managed to bounce a shell of her deck armor, then the Australia sinks two ships before the IJN manage to escape... No time to rescue soldiers in the water...we need another engagement! [image]local://upfiles/44178/62331EC87B9A4490B2F9CDEC07A64CD8.jpg[/image]

Dawn arrives as the IJN convoy desperately seeks safety, fleeing flank speed from Task Force Australia (which retired to replenish ammunition)...and right into the perfectly timed pincer attack of Desron #12 at Manus. DD Patterson ran right in and launched a devastating torpedo attack...and took a large caliber hit...but there would be no escape during daylight, as the merciless Yank destroyers even used 50 caliber Brownings on the convoy.

Our Dutch light cruisers and destroyers stand off from the Japanese fleets in Western Australia, electing not to close and we can only hope they aren't bombed by naval air power. But the Dutch pilots are made of sterner stuff... [image]local://upfiles/44178/4591C2D0C27B4EF29DDD1E11EE3F843E.jpg[/image]

The IJA makes some good tactical decisions here and forces a retreat...before we could retreat out of the base. [image]local://upfiles/44178/45C51EF80DAD4300AC4356DF2B0D0693.jpg[/image]

Townsville also was being abandoned, but in both cases the IJA armored pursue... [image]local://upfiles/44178/0FAB3EACE10A4F83954A56B664F872A6.jpg[/image]

Jan 1, 1942 Scoresheet, with a comparison to another game... Japan absolutely destroyed the Dutch/Singapore shipping fleet. [image]local://upfiles/44178/8A5643F29F67420E9EEF4B00E826AB6D.jpg[/image]

DD Patterson took a big hit! These Bagley class destroyers are slated to join the carrier fleet, but with four 5 inch guns they make for good ambushers here in the chaotic amphibious phase. I am trying not to lose them.[;)] [image]local://upfiles/44178/4EFCEA284F1F4503B440EB05AC0A8A32.jpg[/image]

Empire paying the price for overextending the IJN. Whole brigade in hostile waters without any escort, seems fair result. [8D]

Probably mine hits that did damage - the sunk ships page seems to always include (initially) any ship that had a mine or torp hit without any consideration of ability to survive.

In game, yes - but the real-life Dubbo was a Bathhurst-class under construction in Sydney at this point in the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Dubbo_(J251). Not sure if it was a deliberate decision in DB to move her to Townsville?
