A little chaos at Truk
I was fortunate enough to visit Truk Lagoon and get away with it. But while there on 9/14/43 in Gato out of Brisbane, at an anchorage spot just off Moen, I found a cluster of IJN ships jammed together (especially the two escort carriers.
There were 2 BB's (Nagato and Fuso), two escort carriers (Taigo and Shoho), several Kajairo destroyers, and a single Takao heavy cruiser.
Got credit for sinking the two BB's, both Escort carriers, and the Takao. The DD's went down after being damaged by explosions on the bigger ships, so no credit there.
I really appreciated the easy targets and tonnage, but I think there should only be on battle group there, not what seemed to be two. Might be a timing issue?
