All of my carriers at PH have vanished. All CV's, CVL's and CVE's have vanished. Save for a Saratoga and Lexington TF around Manus Island and a four CVE TF around PH escorting supplies to Tinian, all the other carriers were in PH repairing and refurbishing prior to taking Guam.

I took a break and saved my game. Prior to saving that game, I checked out my carriers to divide them up among the TF's need for the invasion. They were all there in port including two that were being repaired. I then took a break.

I came back a few hours later and loaded that game, but no carriers. The game looked fine except my carriers were no where to be seen. They simply were not anywhere to be found. I played that turn without the carriers hoping they would show up when I ended the turn. But, four carriers showed up in PH...in a way. They were the original Yorktown, original Enterprise, the Franklin and the Crown Point (a renamed Essex).

These ships showed up in the LIST SHIPS button at the top, but they do not show up at PH even though they are listed at PH. For example, if I go to the Port screen, no carriers are listed. No CVL's show up and what appears to be all the CVE's. All the British carriers in the IO show up fine.

Prior to this headache, I had not last a single CV and had all my Essex carriers up to the Franklin, all my original carriers and my renamed Essex carriers. I played five more turns [from this same game] but the other carriers do not show up. The LIST SHIPS button still shows come carriers, but not all of them.

I tried the PreTurnSave Game (or whatever it is called), but I get the same result.

I loaded a game from four months prior (game time) when all the carriers were out and they are all there spread out in their various TF's.

I am playing Version 1.0.4.1106i on a MacBook Pro through the latest version of Parallels (7.0.15052). Prior to today, this set up had been granite stable. I can send a saved game if need.

Please help!!!

How many ships do you have in PH ? If there are to many some will disapear from the list but they are still there. There is also the possibility the Japanese have stolen them of course but its a rather rare random event so its unlikely.

Have you checked the "Ships under repair" button?

Check your filter settings. Look especially at the "suppress ships due to upgrade" button, or as JeffK said, check your
ships under repair.

as Gr�fin says, if you have more than 1000 ships in port, no all ships are displayed in ship list

posibility #1: They just got sucked into refit. Check the ships under repair button as jeffk suggested. This probably isn't it from your description but it is still the most common cause

possibility #2: too many ships in harbor. Select create Carrier Task force and then filter out everything except carriers; if this is the case you should see them listed.

Calm down, take a deep breath, attach a copy of the file so that someone can help you. They will find your carriers if they are there...

And, welcome to the forums..
