kaleun -> Three cheers for the Royal Navy (5/22/2006 5:24:56 AM)
[:D]The day started relatively well for the Japanese, their surface force enters combat with the allied Trico battleship squadron. The allies are outnumbered, but achieve some success, although all allied ships suffer various degrees of damage. LBA then raids the enemy task force, with an occassional paint scratching hit. The British carriers, that had sortied the night before, turned round the island of Ceylon, and attack the enemy battlewagons, Hiei sinks under no less than 5 torpedoes.

Was the commitment at Truk worth the losses. Also, how much of the IJN fleet will make it back from the Indian Ocean. I know you have taken losses, but it looks like you have hit him pretty hard.

kaleun -> RE: Three cheers for the Royal Navy (6/4/2006 4:27:15 PM)
Truk is an important location, that is needed for my (classified) future plans. As far as his Indian ocean adventure, he lost (probably) one battleship (Yamashiro) and had one carrier (Shokaku) damaged. In his previous raid he lost a second battleship, Hiei. Against this losses, he sunk all of the British carriers in the Indian Ocean. Now it is true that the Brit carriers have not been too effective, due to their small air arms, and also because they have been used in a very limited fashion, however I'd say that it was worth it for Japan.

Thanks for the reply on my Truk question. No need to divulge secrets, You never know who is doing sigint[:D][:D][:D]. Looks like you have taken out quite a few aircraft. Also it does not hurt to take out battleships since it cuts down on bombardments.
