Battlestations: Pacific/Battle of Cape Engaño

By Assin180

Hidden Objective(s): Destroy the supply ships; As you are attacking the second group of carriers you will get word that intel has decoded the japanese messages and finds out that a group of ships are trying to leave the battlefield and supply other japanese forces. Your two battleships should be in a position to intercept them and are more then capable of taking them out. Once you have sunk the ships you will have completed the hidden objective.

Secondary Objective(s): Prevent the loss of anymore ships; You get this objective towards the beggining of the mission and for a while it is pretty easy to carry out. The only ships at that time are the two battleships which if you use wisely won't come close to being wiped out. Once the carrier and her escort ships come into the equation, however, it becomes a little more difficulty. Some of the escort ships are quite vulernable to enemy fire and could get sunk really quick so keep them away from the enemy ships and use the two battleships (after you take out the transport convoy since it will be in the way) and squadrons of avengers to take out the remaing two carriers WITHOUT losing another ships to complete the secondary objective.

Completing this mission on any difficulty will unlock the ASW Fletcher Class Destroyer.
