Guam Area - 9 a/c
Attack BB
3xTBF - VT2 Flt.1 El.1 - CV Enterprise - 100% + 1x2000lb (242Sqn)
2xTBF - VT2 Flt.1 El.2 - CV Enterprise - 100% + 2x500lb + 8xAP HVAR (DD)
4xFM2* - VF19 Flt.1 El.1 - CV Enterprise - 100% + 2x58gal DT (DD)

These aircraft should proceed direct to Guam, if enemy a/c are present the FM2 will have to break off and engage whilst the TBF's hold position on the south tip of the island. If or when all is clear this force should proceed south-west to locate the IJN Battleship. Once located attack from the rear, with DD going in first to rocket and bomb the AAA concentrated around the stern of the ship. Good luck guys.
*These FM2 are multirole, primarily on escort but they may be called away to defend our ships at Guam.


Rota Area Search and Destroy - 11 a/c
2xF4U-1D - USMC 212Sqn Flt.1 El.4 - CV Intrepid - 1x1000lb + 2x500lb + 8xAP HVAR(EAF)
2xF4U-1A - USMC 212Sqn Fl.3 El.1 - CV Intrepid - 1x1000lb + 2x154gal DT(EAF)

4xTBM-3 USMC 232Sqn Flt.1 El.3 - CV Intrepid - 2x500 + 8xAP HVAR (EAF)

At mission start the F4U and TBM will fly to Rota and S&D. The F6F will remain over the CV as CAP. Once the 4xF4U-1D arrive from the supply point the F6F will be released to make a fighter sweep across Guam.


CV Fleet CAP - 6 a/c (LLv34 + 64th)*
2xF6F5 - VF44 Flt.1 El.1 - CV Saratoga - 2x500lb + DT
4xF4U1-D - VF20 Flt.3 El.1 - Supply Point CN26 - 1x1000lb + 2x154gal DT

F6F5 to take position over CV fleet. F4U-1D to make best speed and get to the fleet as quickly as possible.
*I know that 64th and LLv34 are brining 4 pilots each but I can only get 6 a/c for this CAP, however there will be other a/c available that we can possibly get to the same target area.


Shamrock Bay CAP - 4 a/c
4xFM2 - VF44 Flt.2 El.4 - CVE Shamrock Bay - 2x100lb + 2x58gal DT (102nd)

You guys will have an airstart over the CVE, rush the airfield on Tinian and see if the axis are trying to takeoff again, if they are then bomb and strafe them!


Tinian/Saipan Search & Destroy - 8 a/c
3xTBM - USMC 234Sqn Flt.1 El.3 - CVE Shamrock - 2x500 + 8xAP HVAR (102nd)

All a/c are to perform S&D around the Tinian area. If nothing is found then engage units in the forest near the jap airfield on Tinian. If the FM2's need assistance the P47 and F6F should rush to help.


Transport CAP - 4 a/c
4xF6F3 - VF13 Flt.1 El.1 - Supply Point East - 2x500 + 150gal DT (IAF)
