Corona Virus Project 2c and 2d (WIP): USN Destroyers and Midway Cruisers

Project 2c: Thirty "early war" US Destroyers (see below, I could not match "named destroyers" in teh battle [yet - that will have to wait for another order to Navwar], so I picked thirty "early war" destroyers to just "sub-in"):


Project 2d: The USN Midway Cruisers of Task Force 16 and Task Force 8 (see below, those already made in Task Force 17 and 16 are omitted) from the photograph:

Task Force 17: 

  • USS Astoria .. already done
  • USS Portland .. already done

Task Force 16:

  • USS New Orleans (CA) .. already done
  • USS  Minneapolis (CA) .. already done
  • USS Vincennes (CA)
  • USS Northampton (CA)
  • USS Pensacola (CA)
  • USS Atlanta (LC-AA)

Task Force 8:

  • USS Indianapolis (CA)
  • USS Louisville (CA)
  • USS Nashville (LC)
  • USS St Louis (LC)
  • USS Honolulu (LC)



Once Projects 2c and 2d are complete it will be time to look at the IJN. The Coral Sea will be a relatively small affair but .. the IJN Task Forces are pretty large. Especially if you include the Aleutian force!
