IJN carriers, on a perimeter test patrol penetrate from the south. Only PM strikes sadly(one at a mix of BBs and APAs and another at a lowly xAP and xAK convoy) and the results against battleships are disappointing. A large portion of the allied ships will be able to retaliate (if they manage to close the distance). A large number of xAKs, xAPs, two APAs and a few DDs are sunk...
