  1. There's not enough room on the ship or the hangers to carry all those planes. Thus they had to have the RAF planes on deck. That's why there's no CAP.

  2.  @bradleydavies4781  there was a dispute on the ship That was supposed to lead to a court-martial. The captain requested to return early.

  4. Americans are guilty of the same thing. 25 years later in Vietnam.

  5.  @SvenTviking  To be honest, they probably weren't expecting a surface threat. But rather u-boats. So the whole thing about having a combat Air Patrol probably wouldn't have happened anyway.

  6. Wait a minute? Your math is making no sense at all. And anyone who is commanding the vessel is a captain or CO. Rank does not matter.

  10.  @krashd  most people are kind of skipping through the history book; to get to the standardized tests. Very few get into very deep dives into any one subject for a long. 📚🚸

  12. ​ @NeputuniaNepp Well, let's rethink this question? The USA stays Neutral. Aid stops to China. There is no Pearl Harbor. The UK and Dutch are forced out of Asia. If you don't get greedy? And political change goes the other way in the USA? Japan can get most of what they wanted.

  14. There is nothing wrong with that not every country follows the same practice. Russians and Germans for example prefer the masculine designation.

  15.  @lightwalker222  It's not just German. And it's not just being blown out of proportion. Not all cultures apply feminine names or character to vessels.

  16.  @lightwalker222  there's nothing wrong with my example. I'm sorry, not everyone called ships female and that seems to bug you.

  17. How many times are people going to rehash that? What's the point?

  18. PT boats are not riverine craft. And their role primarily in this campaign was to interdict these enemy Supply runs either by destroyers or barges.

  19.  @tvgerbil1984  On the contrary, his decks were full of recovered RAF aircraft. These land-based aircraft for being taken back home.

  20.  @tvgerbil1984  there's also a question of whether or not you have to turn into the wind and position of the enemy versus the wind? Would Swordfish stop them?🤷🏽‍♂️ it's a good history "what if?"
