@gamerman01 There was no retreat or submersion of my units in this battle. This was a suicide mission for the American forces and there was never any intention to retreat as I needed every possible hit to allow the UK and ANZAC to follow up in their turn 17 attacks. My subs fought until TripleA ended the battle since there were no remaining ship units, just planes that could not strike back. I asked GeneralDisarray to confirm his OOL for turn 2 and he confirmed that the destroyers should all be lost before I start taking his carriers and planes.

@GeneralDissaray, I gave you up to 72h to realize your blunder which is more than anyone else would have provided in a Playoff game. keep the planes and ac till last. I dislike the game ending in an OOL blunder, and asked you to be very careful in your selection as this was going to be a very close series of fights and the decisions were tactically as complex as I have ever seen in a match.
