I know similar scenarios were made into a movie.
But, if on Dec 1941 you had two strike eagles.
Only two. Your sortie arrived at the Japanese fleet
about the time 1/2 of the first wave was launched.

Question 1#
given the choice of any weaponry available for the F15,
(even some that may not be normally used)
what would your weapon load be? This is using all available hard points
and taking fuel out of the equation.

Question #2
Given the choice of weapons above, what would your tactics be to
maximize damage to the carrier fleet and prevent as many planes
as possible from reaching Pearl. (while saving your own butt)

Now there would have to be a balance between destroying the carriers
from future use and destroying the attacking planes that have already
left the carrier. Have it it. Hang as much on the plane as you can.
But when your out of munitions, what other tactics could you use?

Bob

Nuke the task force into oblivion. The shock wave and heat flash will knock
down or toast the 1/2 wave that has launched and is formating in the area. If
the fleet vanished it would confuse the hell out of the Japanese and Pearl
would be safe.

The temptation would always be to nuke the task force - then nuke the ashes.

Personally, I'd lob a single nuke into the middle of the battle group,
bend all the carriers double and sunburn the crews. Hopefully, there's
be a destroyer or an oiler that will limp back to port with an unbelievable
'pika don' story.
