Raverdave -> Bang bang ! (9/13/2003 7:37:28 PM)

Used a storm to hide my approch for the north against Luganville with my CV TF, and caught some nice fat targets in port. The damage was not as much as I had hopped for but either way there are a few capitol ships that will be needing work in the docks now. Luskan had 130 fighters waiting for me :eek: but lost at least 30 of them to my Zeros.
As usual the kates copped it in the neck :(
All in all not a bad raid.
