Installation: extract the rar into the single mission folder of SH4

Nown issues:

Sometimes one or two destroyers start a search pattern and it is likely that one is overrun by a capital ship

It’s very likely that one or two American battleships leave the formation to attack the Japanese battleships when sighted

No American PT boats or destroyers since they do not start torpedo attacks and their small turrets won’t damage the Japanese battleships
