Scenario length – 8 hours August 24, 1942 [Hypothetical] The day before the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, Admiral Fletcher decided to send TF18, including the Carrier Wasp, south to refuel. This left the United States Navy short a carrier when the battle broke out the next day. This hypothetical scenario assumes that Admiral Fletcher gambled and kept TF 18 with the rest of his forces.
