43 Jul 18 Turn US Assault adv to 44. Axis air resupplies critical surrounded units in DEI. And, to the tune of "Monday, Monday" Japanese rain bombs and torpedoes on my fleets. There are so many air strikes I lost count of them. And, for the first time waves of Kamikazes ripping holes through the decks of my carriers. Naval Air Strikes lead by waves of Kamikazes for the first time send the Yorktown to the bottom and severely damage the Enterprise. Then Kido Butai arrives which was suppose to be an inferior force of three CV's, 2 CVL's and a CVE that my mighty US Carrier fleet was suppose to send to the bottom with ease. Instead my attempt at a Interdiction strike turns into a disaster. With Enterprise sent to the bottom and Yorktown II and Wasp II taking heavy damage. They only manage to sink a lousy BC. Strikes occur to my other fleets but at least not decisively. The invasion of DEI that started so brightly on the 4th of July, ends in humiliating defeat sending all my ships fleeing back into the Indian Ocean. Leaving three marine, one army and a number of divisions trapped on the islands without supply. [image]local://upfiles/22005/CFFAB00521B9416782CC2CE77BEA1F1A.jpg[/image]
