  1.  @beigethursday1352  Interestingly, I just looked at the Wiki article on Force Z and it rejects the narrative that Indomintable was supposed to join the force. fwiw, Wiki gives the air group of Indomintable in 42 as 22-Sea Hurricanes, 12-Martlets and 16-Albacores. A Sea Hurricane or Martlet could handle the twin engine bombers the IJN used. The location of the battle appears to be within the range of an A6M from the bases in Indochina, but would A6Ms have been available? A6M supply was still insufficient in December 41. Some carriers still had A5Ms. I figure the effectiveness of air cover for Z would depend more on the availability of A6Ms than anything else.
