Just finished the battle of Phillipine Sea and went on the next patrol. I found TF58 near Saipan and for the heck of it followed it for over 1000 miles. It went around Palau and was attacked by several squadrons of JP aircraft. It was fun to sit back and watch the big BB's, Iowa, NC, and over 30 US warships duke it out with JP aircraft.

Later, maybe looking for me a small group of DD's came into range, the Iowa sent them down in a minute.

I did learn one thing, nothing explodes like a NC BB, no doubt the largest and brightest explosion in the game, then it sinks in a few seconds like a brick. One JP hit it with one bomb and boom. I saved and being the bad guy sunk a few myself, so if you get a chance to sink a NC BB, do so.

This is the first second...what happens next it fairly amazing in game. Once the explosion took out a Essex Carrier 500 yards away...
