Wait -- is that a carrier-on-carrier engagement in the Gilberts? You were so casual about it that I wasn't sure, but aren't those carrier-based planes on both sides?

He's got carriers - my planes are land-based at Tabiteuea. Some of them are part of squadron fragments from the sunken Hornet and Yorktown, though.

Ah -- okay, that makes a lot more sense! I assume he's just trying to shore up the defenses of Tarawa, then? Tabiteuea is too heavily defended to be invaded, I would assume.
