The main obstacle to the continued use of the carriers is not fuel but ordnance (especially torps). I suspect they will have to go to Truk to rearm and, as already pointed out, it is becoming increasingly dangerous to operate as separate carrier divisions. Most likely, rats leaving New Zealand will survive to tell their grandkids

Suppose you have 18 torps left in the magazine and 18 Kates on board. If you set the Kates to torpedoes and they fly a mission in the morning, will the AI switch to bombs in the afternoon?

What if we brought down a heavy arty unit with 28cn guns to Lord Howe, would that do any good?

Artillery will shoot at ships but they are not as effective as real CD units - I think the chance to hit is a lot less. But something is better than nothing.

The recombined Hong Kong CD unit is mobile, but restricted to the Asian landmass.

In scenario 2, several Naval guard units can be recombined. These have some (limited) CD functionality.

New (and improved) Caledonia or Suva would be a nice refueling / rearmament station for KB's wanderings to the south. Will you remind us of their status on the chopping block?

Noumea should fall in 2 days but is only a level 2 port. Nadi should fall tomorrow but it might take 8-10d to take Suva because we have to assemble, then march in. Suva is level 3.
Rabaul is level 3 with no naval support but does have an AD.

FYI, Kwajalean with a level 3 port and 90 naval support will NOT reload aerial torps. The BB's will also have to go back to Truk to be rearmed.

How vast is her pool if the pool guy's hose is inadequate to clean the sides and/or bottom?

Now, clearly, that is a trap you have set, because, if I could accurately answer that I would have some 'splaining to do.

Even so, we can assemble the knowable data....3 kids....not sure about episiotomies or "husand's stiches"...not sure about Kagel exercises. Most likely somewhat accomodative.

If it was a hose and not a pole I can understand why she was hiding from him. And to answer the question, it is not the size of the pole, it is whether you know how to use it.

And yes, I am a pool guy ;] Probably could do a helluva better job on both her and the pool.

Now, a swimming pool can certainly be fun but perhaps it isn't such a good idea either. In the case of PG the same inference might be drawn regading lawn care or even a personal trainer or process server.

I think it was Franklin who said, "Never a pool owner or borrower be"

Leslies sucks!! Cactus Pool Supply is the way to go in the valley!! Leslie's muscled out a Cactus competitor that I was working with. And they just did it to be dicks because this area of the valley cannot support a Leslie's pool store. So they simply jacked their prices up and are significantly more expensive on almost every thing.

And yes, owning a pool is like owning a yacht. They are expensive and require a lot of maintenance for simply looking good most of the time. I wouldnt own a pool unless it came with a house I really liked.

And yes, yes... Being a pool service person is nothing like being the Cabana boy in the movies. Mostly overweight housewives with noisy kids...

One AKE (that biggest japanise have - don`t remember class but they have capacity 4500 or something like that) if have enough supply loaded should be able to fully rearm 2 BB plus some DDs in single turn. Two AKE can reload even more ships at once. Only Yamato class need big port or lot of support to rearm main guns

Upgrading to AKE is fast. 21 days i think. Having AKE clso to fron line will save You lots of time and fuel.
