Line 28: Line 28:
Around this time the American carriers begin appearing. The first is the USS ''Yorktown'', and it appears on the eastern border near the island. If you've positioned your battleship close to this position, you'll be almost in a firing position as soon as it appears. It is escorted by a pair of Fletcher-class destroyers and a single Northampton-class cruiser. None of these ships, nor the carriers planes (especially when the ''Fusō'' is escorted by destroyers) pose a considerable threat to you. Be careful of the enemy destroyers, though - they have an annoying tendency to turn overconfidence against you by unleashing a spread of torpedoes at you if you let them in close. Destroy the Fletchers first and then the ''Yorktown''. Save the Northampton for dessert.

Once you've sunk the first wave, a second wave will show up a little to the north of the first.
Once you've sunk the first wave, a second wave will show up a little to the north of the first. It consists of an identical attack group, consisting of the USS ''Enterprise'' escorted by a Northampton and a pair of destroyers. The ''Fusō'' should still be in good health afterwards, so long as you didn't take any torpedo hits from the previous destroyer group. Sail in and gun down the final carrier for the victory.
