The Battle of the Bismarck sea in March of 1943.
B 25s skip bombed the Japanese convoy. Not my first choice either but they did the job. The convoy was massacred and the B25s scored 17 hits. One thing the B 25 had was speed(285mph) and alot of forward firing power when modified for low level ground and sea attack. 10 50s brought to bear from one push of a button from the pilot could light you up. Some models had 75 mm cannon mounted too.
