No we can't. Its something folks cling to despite the evidence, or rush to when not knowing the facts about the capability of carrier aircraft & the damage it actually takes to do this. I remember a thread a couple years ago where a couple people would not turn loose of the idea the fuel tanks for the fleet could be instantly turned into a sea of flame, consuming every bit of fuel in a hour or two. A few strafing aircraft and a handful of 120kg bombs is all it would take. The evidence they kept presenting continually backfired and on examination proved otherwise. There are people who are obsessed with the silver bullet, the golden BB, the panacea action that will reduce the enemy to impotence in a single simple sure action.
Be fun to game that one.
How many raids of varying levels of intensity were thrown at Rabaul over how many years?
