# Q) y- v5 v" V4 i- h7 jThere, this is where it more or less ended. The final losses are, from my perspective, 7 CVs, 9 CVLs (the whole Independence class), 5 CVEs. Of relevance, 4 modern USN cruisers are also sunk. IJN losses are 0! I have one DD damaged heavily, one slightly and one damaged CL. CVL Ryujo took two bomb hits, but is in very good condition (25sys). My CVs are returning to home port, as for the rest, Raver has given a quite accurate description. Those threedays have been just amazing, giving me a victory I hardly thaught possible. As for Raver's words about his reasons for continuing this game, I'll have to have a long private talk with him. 7 J; ?* b7 T8 B6 v3 _! z# R) x. H
