Found myself in the slot with a group of six destroyers closing in at 31 knots Um yeah engage targets........sure.......... maybe if we get a lucky shot we can take out the lead ship before the DC's start raining down

Very bad JU-JU in the slot not just warships but flying thingies as well.


HMMMM this could make a good story to post
Spearfish against the Tokyo Express or When is it going to stop raining DC's

The Solomon campaing throughout 42 and 43 place to be with RSRD for battle, all large to small battles well scripted. Lot of Carrier action.

Let's see, so far I've seen.
Tulagi invasion group with Shoho
Port Moresby invasion fleet,..nice size
Coral Sea...the big one.
Battle of E. Solomons, nother big one.
Invasion of Lae..good place to sink some Aikoku's..spelling..
Battle of Savo..nice surface action is you time it right.
Battle of Santa Cruz...another biggy with carriers
Battle of Vella gulf, nice surface battle of dd's and CA's..

and numerous DD's running the slot and several large battle groups. Mostly they go around Tulagi and come back West in the morning. Couple Invastion fleets hit Cape Esp.
