I was in a rush to get this posted before leaving for work.  I realized there needed to be some more clarification.

Arena Settings:
Marianas terrain
Enable Tower Gods Eye
Full Radar
Fuel Burn 1.0
Auto ack will be set at .001
Ship hardness will be 1000 lbs per ship
No wind
Killshooter ON
T + 90 minutes event is over.  Logs will be closed
and arena rebooted. Anyone still in arena will be
ejected including CM.

Disregard the line with Ship hardness will be 1000 lbs per ship.

Players using the PT Boats will need to wait for text buffer in any ship damage from torpedo use before launching a new PT Boat.  This is to ensure when relaunching the previous torpedo attack won't disappear.  It is advised for players to use the rest of weaponry aboard before getting new boat.  This should give enough time to know whether a player hit a ship or not.

Players flying Ju-88s with torpedoes should follow same guidelines as PT Boat before bombing and bailing and then relaunching with new bombers.

Killshooter will be ON.  Players flying bombers should be careful to not drop bombs near players in PT Boats.  Bomber pilots might be returned to A24 tower. 

There will be a friendly CV group in 14,14 kp 5.  Bomber pilots might drop on friendly CV in the middle of enemy CV groups.  Look at above mentioned info.  Friendly CV won't take damage nor hurt bombers except when PT Boats are just spawning.

There will be enemy CV groups firing at players and for an unknown reason some enemy CV groups won't fire at players.  Best guess would be original Port and CV group belonging to Bishop and being switched to another country.

27 enemy CV groups contained in a 625 square mile area is complete chaos and anarchy.  Each fleet on a separate course passing near central friendly fleet allowing for PT Boats to spawn and attack.  Ju-88s at wave top level sinking ships with torpedoes.  ju-88s in the air level bombing fleets. 

The player who sinks an aircraft carrier with a PT Boat gets to pick June torpedo bomber.
