The ships have been hardened to withstand massive
bombardment by 8" Triple Guns and Torpedos.

You can lose 1 Life per every half hour. If you
perish, wait. Defer to your Side CO as to secondary

Fleet to Fleet engagement will be a significant
factor in this battle. You will need a Fleet Admiral
to coordinate the engagmenent. You will need Captains
manning the individual fleets to evade torpedos and
position the fleet to best attack the opposition.
Fleet management will be crucial in making sure you
are not turning a fleet while a flight is launching.
There will be no Do-Overs on life limits for such mistakes.
You will need an Air Controller to coordinate
the Air to Air battle.
In short, this is orchestrated chaos. The side who
manages this best will win.
