"Allied Death Star"

I'm curious as to what this refers to.

The phenomenon of grouping 8 Essex class together in one hex resulting in a CAP of 200 Corsairs and 100 F6F's

Jap planes are drawn in to their death by the gravitational pull.

Hmmn, wouldn't that then be the Allied Black Hole?

No mentioning of "SCLS", yet?
SCLS = Sudden Carrier loss Syndrome; someone loosing his carriers unexpected and quits the game as a consequence or seriously thinks about it

I might agree with you, if only I understood what the word 'floggie' translated to in English.

I can see why a young lonely at sea might acquire a magazine with pictures of half or completley unclothed women...but I am not following why it would have stories about colorful racial taunts from WWII.
