Day three, which I have coined.
"Disappointment on Southern Winds"
Such potential & promise. But Shokaku ends up vanishing like a ghost.

Spent the weekend playing @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA.
Still need to complete the run this coming weekend.
But, mistakes, air-ops muddles, and a crane that refuses to sink :) All happened.

The Japanese battleship cannot attack at carrier range. The total strength of the attack is 36 factors (Akagi+Soryu+Shokaku).

There's something oddly... endearing? about museum social media managers making flirty eyes with other museum social media managers.
But also, that's the sickest burn I've seen since the Shōkaku.

I very much hope that we are lucky enough that one of the Shokaku class carrier wrecks are found. I'd love to see what condition they are in now.

At the Phillipine Sea, US aircraft accounted for one Japanese carrier, the Hiyo. The submarine Albacore hit the carrier Taiho with a torpedo, leading to its sinking later due to poor damage control and a gas vapor explosion.
The Shokaku was sunk by 3 torpedoes from the Cavalla.

These were repulsed with devastating losses, over 300 of the 400 Japanese aircraft being destroyed. U.S. submarines also sank the carriers Shōkaku and Taihō.
On 20th June, the Japanese fleet, in retreat, was detected at the limits of the range of American carrier aircraft.

Shokaku. I'm pretty sure she might be more willing to go along with it if you offer her food.

Well shit, not only has @justinpykehistory.bsky.social gotten me to buy YET ANOTHER book (the Alan Zimm), but also that I've been placing emphasis on the wrong letter in Shokaku and Zuikaku.
I would like to add that IIRC Neosho was loaded with AvGas. They would have seen her from space.

I'll add a few additional thoughts on the subject from Alan Zimm here that we didn't get to in the video. As I note, Zimm goes into great detail on weapon-target pairings in a hypothetical third wave. There simply wasn't enough ordinance to do everything. It's not a realistic critique.
Did Japan blunder at Pearl Harbor by not sending a 3rd Wave and destroying US Oil reserves? Joining us is historian and Pacific War expert Jonathan Parshall and we discuss why things are different than often seen (esp. on Tora! Tora! Tora!): youtu.be/V-pp2Rk59Yg

Run I did last month. Shokaku sailing straight and true (no avoidance, I suspect due to a coding glitch as she had her crash barriers up for landings).
End Result, all 16 SBDs missed with their loads :)

It was 80 years ago today that Lieutenant John James Powers, a pilot aboard the USS Yorktown, led his squadron in an attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku during the pivotal Battle of the Coral Sea.
