Epic battleship group attack with friendly air cover

[Snarf]

... so I've got droves of friendly planes diving in through a hail of AA dropping bombs, scoring hits, getting shot down. I get all available hands reloading torpedoes for follow up shots. The first and third BB are going down, the second is limping. I get three more off on the last BB and 2 more toward the second. Six more hits! Now all of the BB's are sinking and I start firing 2 at a time at the cruisers. I sink another 2 cruisers and finish off the tankers before I'm all out of torpedoes, then I go to test depth and creep away unscathed. I come back up to periscope and spot red smoke. Off to rescue my very helpful buddies. Unfortunately the game wouldn't let me take on more than 3 pilots due to lack of bunks. There were a lot of pissed off DD's left over with not much to guard after it was all said and done though
