Status: offline 		Definitely a problem with the sub war. I watch the slow rise in VP and start thinking about how many more points John will get for Bataan. Since we just got into May42 the USA is starting to get some DD upgrades which will help the sub war. Also allies have 0 anti asw air over 50% trained. Sub war may come under control by August.

I noticed the allies have some subs w single planes. Interesting. So I have dispatched these subs to provide air search over allied convoys to increase detection levels on the jap subs. Not sure this was the intent of this ship mod.. These subs also have big surface guns. Hmmm maybe we can have a sub on sub surface combat!!!

Did a little spanking on those boys a few turns ago and dropped 12 of the AVG. Progress!

In replacing the starting IJN commanders with more aggressive leaders, you will see many more surface attacks. Sometimes they are smart, other times NOT SO MUCH!

That pod of Humpback Whales sends greetings to a lonely AG at sea. A strike of 13 Zero and 7 Vals hit it with six bombs sinking the target.

SS Ops:
I-25 SINKS BOTH DM Montgomery, 1 TT, off Coal Harbor and AP Princess Charlotte with 1 Shell and 2 TT. NICE WORK!

Diego Garcia
CarDiv2 appears and sinks a pair of AK with other shipping nearby.

Michael really LIKES those fast BC to link-up with other fast BC for one heck of a Fast Strike Force in mid-42.

i was looking at the gun size on the french battle cruisers and wondered about the ammo needed to keep them shooting after they get into a battle and need a reload. Since they are diffefferent caliber than US I figured they are ONE AND DONE. Kind of like a 60 year old man with a 20 yr old girlfriend.

Be careful with them at first. They need some 'milk runs' to bring up their experience levels. The late '42 Fletchers go with them nicely!
