Private. If my squad leader and second in command dies, I take control though.

Battle Starting...
Americans: A gunner sights 4 Battleships, several cruisers, and a number of destroyers.
"This is USS Johnston to Taffy 1, Taffy 2, and the rest of Taffy 3, we are under attack by a Japanese Battle Group."
USS Johston begins making a smoke screen to protect the Carriers.
A pilot gets into his Douglas Dive Bomber and takes off, seeing the Yamoto in the battle group.
Japs: You see the American ships, FIRE!

I know...

I'll just take a Spitfire then, or is it only American planes?

Not even one? Who got lost on his way home for tea and crumpets?

I'll take a Douglas TBD Devastator torpedo-bomber then.

>To avoid enemy fire from planes and on-board guns, I move as close to the surface of the water as possible and head towards the closest japanese boat.
