The Americans have one less carrier, which means they have a less chance overall of winning, since the Japanese only need to destroy three carriers while the Americans have to destroy four. This is mitigated, however, by the presence of an airfield. The airfield, however, can only field Devastators, so ultimately the Japanese have the upper hand in being able to field more fighters than the Americans. | The Americans have one less carrier, which means they have a less chance overall of winning, since the Japanese only need to destroy three carriers while the Americans have to destroy four.

The carriers should start the battle moving. Always try to keep them together so they'll cover each other, and set all personnel to work on water duty, as the major threat here will be torpedoes. Barely anyone deploys dive bombers. | The carriers should start the battle moving.
