alflags- I just read that that the Navy took no responsibility for protecting
the naval base and that this was an Army responsibility. The
few fighter aircraft at the naval base were aircraft in transit or under repair
and there were virtually no available fighter
pilots. Does this seem ridiculous to anyone else?????? BRBR


Nope, the A/C on a CVA were there to protect the CVA, not the port it happened
to be in(which they weren't in at the time).
