Default Epic battleship group attack with friendly air cover

Mid 1943 USS Wahoo just a couple hundred miles north of Rabaul, I get a radio location of a task force. En route, I get another huge task force on radar. As I make an end around approach on the bigger task force, I come up to periscope and find out it's an American carrier group. Then I blow the tanks, fire the diesels and haul ass for the other task force. I make an approach from their forward starboard. As I close I have 3 Ise's and a Kongo, 2 tankers, a handful of light and heavy cruisers and 10 destroyers. I dive to 300, and use my perfect pitch sonarman to keep track. Back up to periscope 600 yards off the lead BB. Next as I'm looking around one of the tankers is on fire and I spot waves of friendly planes coming in. 3 fish to the 3rd BB 4 aft fish to the lead, then 3 forward fish to the 2nd BB. 10 hits in a row and all hell breaks loose.

to be continued...
