Kwajalein, February 19th-25th, 1942 (Turns 19-25)
By February 19th the destroyers of TGW are in range of Kwajalein and all ships start to pound the 25mm AA to clear the way for the fighters. These welcome the opportunity to score some air-to-air kills against the Ki-43 and B5N2 (T) (Figure 1).

The next day/turn the AA Gun is no more, the Fuel Depot will quickly follow suit and the auxiliary fighters twiddle their thumbs while my core VF3 and 4 rack up some experience (Figure 2).

February 21st marks the completion of two secondary objectives:

are no more. TGW sets its sights on yet another AA Gun and VXB1 and VB2 found a target Northwest of Jabor (a Gunboat?) (Figure 5).
At this point only eight of the required ships were sunk. Some helpful JP destroyers, gunboats and a Support Ship that have been loitering along the West edge of the map oblige by coming into range of either TGW or VB2/VXB1. I couldn't find the energy to edit those screenshots and I feel it would add little value. The secondary objective is reached as per Figure 6 on Turn 23

and a U.S. victory is tallied on Turn 26 (Figure 7).
