Thanks, Ickysdad. Yes, the scenario doesn't make any strategic sense but since this is a what-if, possibilities have to be explored. The Japanese...
Now for Glenn239: thanks for clearing up that detail on the invicibility of the Japanese carrier fleet. I'll respond to that on a later post. You...
I've read the replies and I have to thank USMCPrice for getting things back in track. I, for one, concede the point that USMCPrice mentioned--the...
