I'm seeing a bigger problem with Ryujo & the others: they were too slow. How do they keep up even at the K.B.'s cruising speed? How'd you like to be the engineroom gang having to keep them at top speed for a week straight?![]()
Ryujo is faster than Kaga. (Not a lot faster, and top speed isn't cruising speed). Zuiho is the same speed as Kaga.
With Kaga going along, speed isn't the issue. Range, seahandling and is it worth the trouble of bringing them are bigger issues.
on edit: Too slow! Me, not Ryujo.
