Obviously looking to address the wrongs that Britain inflicted upon mainland Europe through their naval power. Fight the power!

I just had a 4 point victory as Germany against the hated French-Soviet coalition. One month later, a fascist coup overthrew the government. I wonder what they were saying about the previous government? "Yeah, they won, but we would have won better!" Yeah, they won, but against a freakin wrong enemy!

So, Captain, about those cruisers you sighted... Do they by any chance look like those cruisers sitting at anchor over there in the harbor?

Sometimes I get reports of CVs but they're actually TRs. Such a disappointment when you find out you've wasted 7 torpedoes.

Radio interference make things weird... Message from merchant: - as sent: Three-funnel cruiser is spotted! - as received: Three f***** cruiser*s spotted!

They won WW1 with horrible losses, but negotiated only few points, so fascists became upset.

Now we'll find out why the fleet didn't sortie out to meet the enemy... Somebody's gonna be in trouble! Could my Gunnery Officer, Ensign Parker, also attend?

And Beatty, got to invite the UK naval playboy master of shore side politics... and not so much with ships.

Found you!!!
<insert pic from the movie Thor>
Year 1933, decent interwar airplanes. I have 80 plane fleet CVs (3). Pounding Italy's navy which include 2 CVL each of ~20 - 34 planes. There have been several battles in the war with their CVLs contributing sporadic air attacks. In perhaps the 4th or 6th battle like that one of my fleet CV took a single 300 lb bomb hit and survived. Both of their CVL took single bomb hits and survived. Sparring. The CVs and CVLs have been sparring. They are always focused on the main fleets including a slaughtered invasion attempt by Italy. The war duration is around 16 months with their CVLs still slipping away each time they are deployed.
Well... this battle comes up... me attacking a convoy.
I have one of my BCs, light armor 14inch 29 knot HAA 23; a mix of 8 destroyers HAA 5 - 7; oh.. and hey cool... one of my recent 5,000 ton CLAA designs with dual 4" guns with its own whopping HAA of 48 in the one small boat. That's neat.
Unidentified ship spotted. Okay, normal game mechanice.
Gaining on them. Ah, the joys of a 29 knot battle cruiser.
Wonder what they are...
BOTH Italy CVLs with a single destroyer for escort.
>FOUND YOU!!!<
HAA total of ~140 coming at them at 29 knots. That is around 2.3 HAA per early 1930s plane.
Go ahead... turn into the wind rather than flee and see what those planes can do.
I'm okay if I miss the convoy transports.

Thats why we best make sure that flagship is properly sitting in the bottom of the ocean before the invitation is sent

*doing a test to identify the 5" BE glitched hit* "That 5 inch shell sure hit us bad! We may lose our 90K ton battleship from this! Oh well, at least it can't get any worse." *1 minute later* "Why do I say things?"
