    Yeah I was looking closely into sinking that fleet and build 2 carriers but I figured it would cost me too much a) money, b) planes, and c) Norway.  So I thought “Gargantua is trying to bait me again like at Calcutta.  Don’t fall for it Vance”.  Plus you spent a lot on Korea which put Japan in a bad spot but there isn’t any follow up to D-day (for now).  So I decided to kill those guys on the ground if/when they land somewhere and save my fleet for another day.  So that’s my thinking.
