As mentioned before, the ''Hermes'' is the biggest threat to your operation, so deal with it first. It may seem odd, dealing with the hidden objective first before the primary ones, but accomplishing the hidden objective makes the primary objective considerably easier. | As mentioned before, the ''Hermes'' is the biggest threat to your operation, so deal with it first.

Battleships have extremely tough deck plating, so bombs won't work here. Only torpedoes will. The good news is that your bombers sport torpedoes. The bad news is that you have to use the carpet bombers, which are slow, easy targets. The only thing you'll have on your side for the most part, therefore, are numbers. Send bombers in massive groups, consisting of about 4 squadrons each, on the battleships. Don't worry if most of them get shot down - both the G3M and the G4M have torpedoes, and when you run out of one aircraft type you can switch to the other. The G4M is far superior, however - not only can it take more hurt and is smaller, it is also considerably faster - allowing you to rush in and out with torpedo attacks. | Battleships have extremely tough deck plating, so bombs won't work here.

The other warships - the ''Electra'' and the ''Vampire'' - are of the Fletcher class, which sport all kinds of antiaircraft weapons. The important thing is to either ignore them or don't spend too much time on them - you'll definitely be hard pressed for time regardless of what you do, so don't waste too much time on the destroyers. Although they occasionally block the AI torpedo shots, as destroyers they can only take at most two torpedo hits before sinking. | The other warships - the ''Electra'' and the ''Vampire'' - are of the Fletcher class, which sport all kinds of antiaircraft weapons.
