The Japanese Plan for the Battle of Lat Gulf

The plan is similar to a naval plan the japanese tried earlier in the war. Each one of these separate flotillas has its own destiny and its own story. That's why it's really best thought of as three to five, depending on who you're reading,. They all have their own names, by the way, but they're all the separate fleets and their destinies. But there's an understanding that if you run into any american aircraft carriers, you can attack them. So maybe we'll call that an outclause in the plan.
