	Opening Salvo: War at Sea - Pt. 2
		While the Tone would be involved in a number of combat actions, she was rarely in the thick of combat.
		The HMS Exeter would be the only cruiser to escape the main battle, though she would be intercepted by Japanese cruisers and sunk before making it to safety.
		However keep in mind that the Tone is a powerful and expensive cruiser; don’t be afraid to engage the enemy with her.

		Her complement of 100 were taken on board the foredeck of the Japanese submarine I-8 and one by one led to the stern of the vessel where they had to run a gauntlet of Japanese sailors who beat them with clubs, iron bars and bayonets before being kicked or pushed into the sea.

		In the span of 5 minutes, the Japanese carrier strike fleet, the dreams of victory and empire were engulfed in flame and destruction.

		Japanese wish to retake the Henderson field from the US marines sparked the major fleet action which came to be known as the Battle of Santa Cruz islands.
		But the Japanese were not unprepared for this: remembering what had happened in the Battle of Midway, Japanese spread the hoses over the decks and as soon as the last bomb landed they were played upon the flames, and through superb fire fighting all the fires were out by 1430.
		Japanese were in radar range at 2015 and it was too dangerous for two ships to be there anymore, and at 2040 two destroyers fled.

		Japanese carrier doctrine of the time did not specify what to do when suddenly faced with an enemy force within the enemy’s striking range while one’s own armed and fueled aircraft were still in their hangars.
		Japanese aircraft were segregated by type and stowed in specific portions of both the upper and lower hangars.
		During that attack, the Japanese were able to spot the second wave attack force of 171 aircraft for launch in fifty-five minutes from when the first attack wave and the formation’s CAP fighters were finished launching at 0620.

		In several places, Isom presumes that the Japanese antiship strike force was on the flight decks when it is demonstrable that those aircraft were still in their hangars.
		As a result, given the frenetic nature of Japanese CAP operations after about 0800 (particularly aboard Akagi and Kaga), it is unlikely that many of these second-wave aircraft were ever spotted on the flight decks before the fatal American dive-bomber attack commenced at 1020.
		From the common misperception that Japanese naval aviation was derivative of Western (primarily British) practice, Western writers typically believe that the Japanese carriers of World War II behaved much like their Western counterparts.

	The Battle of Leyte Gulf
		So, while the CVLs were built on the sleek, armored and powerfully fast hulls of heavy cruisers, a new type of carrier, named an "escort carrier" and bearing the designation CVE was built on the hull of one of the slow chugging merchantmen built by the Kaiser shipyards.
		And although his heavy cruisers were hit particularly hard, ready to avenge the loss of their sisters this morning were the Chokai, Chikuma, Tone, Kumano, Suzya and Haguro.
		The pilot who reported the contact then dropped his depth charges on a Japanese cruiser, which had little chance of doing any damage at all – but they were all that he had.

		The Japanese used their destroyers to escort invasion and bombardment forces, and as fast transports to carry assault troops.

		Another problem with the Japanese plan, which turned out to be critical, was that the carriers had had their masts shortened so as not to hamper the take-offs and landings from their decks.
		The Japanese attack was intended to destroy the American planes on the ground, and was therefore unsuccessful.
		The first indication the Japanese had that the Americans were already near Midway, was the sighting of one of the PBY reconnaissance planes.

		Several medium carriers, submarines and destroyers were also sunk in these heavily contested raids that not so quietly destroyed what remained of the Imperial Navy, which until that point had remained a fleet-in-being despite their inadequate fuel supply.
		Then Lieutenant Brehm however, did place one of his 1,000 pound bombs into the stern of the Hyuga and another close alongside the Tone, winning a Navy Cross for "...contributing materially to the sinking of the hostile vessel." in the case of the Hyuga.
		More recently, in March of 1999, Paul visited with six of the Japanese crewmen who were on board the Hyuga when she was sunk, and they jointly attended a ceremony for the Americans and Japanese who died in these attacks.
