Sail toward the closest base, and close into capture range. Unlike in Port Moresby, you'll have to neutralize the base before capturing it - the bases in this mission can dish out a lot of hurt, at the very least enough to sink one of your transport ships if left unattended. Have your carrier, meanwhile, launch a large group of torpedo bombers. Your fleet is safe for now.

Have your torpedo bombers close in on a cove near the third base from the west to locate a beached battleship. This battleship is one of your secondary objectives - rush it with torpedo bombers and, if necessary, the ''I-400'' to sink it rather quickly. Should you choose to use the ''I-400'', however, be wary of the shallow water in the cove. Since the battleship is immobilized, target it from stand-off range with torpedoes to sink it. If you're using the ''I-400'' to sink the battleship, be prepared to engage in an underwater battle with the USS ''Spearfish''. The ''Spearfish'' doesn't seem to care much about her fellow underwater adversary, and often presents a nice, large target for your torpedoes.

Capturing the second base gives you access to a single squad of L2D Tabbies. These paratrooper aircraft are far more mobile than your troop transports, but they also can be easily intercepted by enemy CAP. The L2Ds work perfectly in tandem with your troop ships to expedite captures, or to attempt to capture the lightly defended enemy shipyard on the eastern side.

Once you've spotted the mines, sunk the battleship, and captured the enemy bases, you should be in a good position to win. Repeat the tactics you've learned on the third base.

Around the time you close in on the third base, the Americans will send a ''Bogue''-class escort carrier - the USS ''Copahee'' - to your position. It appears to the north of the fourth and easternmost base, and to receive the gold medal you have to sink it. Fortunately, its escorts are light - it is escorted by the Northampton-class heavy cruiser USS ''Augusta'', and the USS ''Allen M. Sumner''. Neither of these ships, naturally, are a match for your battleship, so sail in and gun down everything. Neutralize the base while you're at it.

With the last enemy base shelled down, all you have to do is bring your troop transports in and land their LCPs for the victory.
