The End

Quite a nice little cameo in its own right Chris.
I loved the close action shots and RT chatter.

Thank you guys for looking at the thread... As mush as I wanted to sink the Soryu, I needed one more section of the 5 to be hit. When I lost Red Group I knew it was going to be tight. When Blue Group missed the target, I knew she wasn't going down this time... Soryu may be completely repaired by now and likely rolling into the Solomons.
