So in the manual it states that defending carriers planes are considered to be defending in the air. It also states that units trapped on a damaged carrier cannot participate. I was always under the assumption that when a sub attacks a loaded carrier that… 1) if it only scores one hit and damages carrier then the planes are trapped until it can get back to a friendly naval base 2) If it scores two hits then carrier and all cargo are lost since they don’t participate in battle against subs w/o a destroyer present. If this is not the case then it seems to me that there is no way for cargo to get trapped on a carrier?
