Adm. Yamamoto: IJN Akagi
Our large carriers are better at basing aircraft from. Stop. Even if we can't fill them to full capacity the larger flight decks, heavier hulls and more air armaments shall be of better use when we are restricted. Stop. My suggested fleet set ups contain all near full strenght ships. Stop. These will be going up against already damaged ships from the last engagement, so hopefully we shall be senting battle ready fleets against battle damaged American ones who are at the disadvantage of dealing with the invasion. Stop. It is likely that we shall take more damage, and possibly the loss of a ship or two, but we can do some heavy damage again in the process. Stop.
My rationale in aircraft production is to allow a tactical reserve since the suprise delaration of war, and rapid deployment has taxed our exsiting CAG reserves. They need to be bolstered to full operational capacity. Stop. Otherwise half our fleet shall be sat at port waiting for aircraft, and the rest awaiting repair of their hulls after an enagement....Stop
