| A summary of movements and actions at the end of turn 4. |
The final possible actions at the end of the turn are the possibility of air attacks on crippled and disabled ships.
3 attacks are launched. WAF and EAF Land Based Air and a Carrier based attack from Ryojo.
Only the WAF are successful in locating their target, and not a particularly impressive one at that! The crippled Dutch destroyer Kortenaer escorted by another destroyer, Van Nes, are attacked by bombers. Aircraft availability proved to be poor with only 8 x Nell and 3 x Betty bombers available for the strike using medium bombs on a high level bombing run.
 |
| 4 x bombers targeted the lead vessel, Van Nes, with 7 on the Kortenaer. |
