Sank a transport right under the nose of the US Pacific Fleet. Heads will roll. Too bad it was empty. Had you waited one more turn though.....

Sank the sub that did it, but the luckless Arizona is back in Pearl for repair (again).

Sank a Jap CV (with a DD no less) way out in the middle of the Pacific. Those wooden flightdecks burn like kindling. It had to be empty or there would be no way it was out on its own.

Sank a Jap DD W of Wake as it was convenient enough to come into air range of Wake Island.

Eric_A might not know where my units are, but I sure knew where some of his were.

2 BBs sunk NE of Saipan. One of the BBs was nice enough to be in air range of my bombers at Wake, making the operation considerably easier. Lost 1 fighter to AA fire.

CV outside Tokyo harbour badly damaged, but my little DD couldn't quite get the job done.

There is a whole lot of nothing between me and Japan (heh, heh).

Just because you can't see anything between you and Tokyo does
not mean there is nothing there.

 

[Misfit_travel]

Bombed near Tokyo. Hopefully the Japanese cities will realize the futility of this war and revolt.

Nailed Jap sub S of Midway. (Very clever location but I had enough spare units to find you).

One of my subs took a shot at your 2hp CV stack near Truk. Missed completely (bloody torpedos).
