That would require a re-arm session or two.  Tactically, you would hit the cruiser and a DD escort first, then follow up with the other DD escorts and finally with the carrier.  That would be a major feat with the second and third sorties being with a single bomber.  Lancaster would be the ideal choice.

Having some buddies fly escort will be best possible option to achieve this.

This should be filmed from start to finish.

It would be tough but with with visits to the re-arm pad and no other friendlies sinking them, some of you could do it. I would not be able to and that's fine. I am content just just getting torps through on one of them.
Ok, this is post #20. I'm pressing the "post" button and hoping I go from a Zinc Level poster to whatever's next.

I was on a carrier and sunk the whole group...... in one mission. Of course my mission was to save it.
