big guns u.s.s. april 1942

in april 1942 u.s. had four big battleships in amazon ocean. note: same as no marker for 4 in nan equaly no marker for u.s. HOWEVER combining these with the four by temz rr... each alone no marker equal to nan rr... but together if no marker to u.s. then justify one together like midway battleship group. four in temz alone same as nan but add the four of washington deserve one marker in temz for convoys.
during spring u.s. added one battleship in atlantic, the north carolina which stayed in atlantic in spring 1942, so the game correctly does not give a marker for battleships in atlantic due to "on the time border" during spring season and combining it in the brit marker. still better... no battleship marker just include them in transport marker kuz transports needed them.  later n.c. went to gaud' in boibi mountain region.
wa' also had six in sea beside whitney mountain region. justifying the marker, in spring all by april first active.
GROUP ONE for spring use "his" by spring=march 21. ergo indiana and n.c. 55 "after" kuz train til june or april 30.
 whitney mr april 1>4 v
Colorado   lv v wh' ap1
Maryland ap1 624v whitney mr +1 atl'
Mississippi v
New Mexico v
Pennsylvania even before may >4.
Tenn' feb' wh' deserve marker same as "midway for jap" but better include in transport.
  GROUP 2

in response to the game which differed, despite its officially "proclaimed goal spring 1942" differd both in borders and gibraltor battleship marker in contrast to nan river region, both unjustly empowering u.k. brits...
of 26 battleships listed in the "very thorough" database, ww2db, five were commisiond AFTER april 1942 and as above one on the "time border" during spring. others later. activity after=8 kuz indiana april 30 after "by spring" and n.c. june 10.

the separated ones are: category "after" and shorter: 4 more were shorter... differing from later u.s. ba' and from jap ba' so not truly "big guns."  2 listed were cruisers so 2+4+5=11 which i will separate kuz after or shorter. 15 remain to group.

GROUP 3

four in amazon ocean as explained and 8 at hawaii.

in december 1941, 8=et were at hawaii four sank others damaged and not usable until after spring.

the four that sunk before are separate:  B=sank before 4, 4 from 8 so 4 only damaged.

Arizona   lv sank 41, California 1939v sank, Oklahoma, W.V. the 4 shorter ones were named "nevada, new york, oregon, Texas". 6 by west coast as above. 6+4+2+4+5=21 so five remian to group.
after time border 5 and "indiana".
before sunk= 4, shorter 4+2 cruisers. 15 plus six at west coast total 21 of 26.
in atlantic four and the one on the time border north-carolina.

 amazon ocean: mas', s.d., washington +n.c. but due to indiana after april, correctly no marker for u.s. battleship in the ocean called atlantic but as above "tipd" the four of brits to deserve one but not a second in gibraltor. better no marker for battleships just include in transport considering that each transport needed battleships.
the story in amazon ocean was simple, escort transport of weapons to briton and soviets... facing submarines that sunk much material... for what? to help british? wrong the british already won the air war "battle of briton." for french? the ones who shot at u.s. when u.s. came to liberate morocco?? and remove the ruling nazis.

the STRATEGIC priority was responding to the jap attack... all resources could be for that direction but the president... the same democrat party that today stifles free words opinion and at that time separated negroes to separate schools... refusing to integrate then, and wants "government money" to pay the negroes for the dnc evil policy decisions instead of from dnc own pockets... that president divided u.s. power also to east in these convoys... where much was lost both material and human lives at sea and in french africa, when objectively, truly not even one u.s. soldier was warranted in that direction instead objectively all efforts were warranted west to respond to the japan attack. consider the only reason u.s. ended nutral status was when jap attacked.

so my focus will be on the six by whitney mountain region not the four or five in the amazon ocean escorting convoys and facing submarine risks. indeed i started with those six and the ones that sank and were not repaired were "before the war".
