Naval mission objectives for Blood Red Skies

If I have to destroy something I'd like to attack something real like. That's why I decided to make an Airstrike naval objectives as a set of particular models of ships starting with small boats through mighty battleships ending with carriers full of an enemy airpower allowing to turn defeat to victory. I decided to use 1/700 scale waterline models. After few months of work I finally complete a set of  "naval objectives" for both great Far East powers: Imprerial Japan and USA.

Let me introduce each ship class with some hints for the attacker.

Freighters:

Small Japaneese landing transport

Small freighters are poorly armed with anti aircraft guns, vulnerable to straffing attacks. At least two bomb hits or one torpedo hit is necessary to sink her.

Liberty class US large freighter

Large freighters are better armed with anti aircraft guns, vulnerable for straffing attacks. At least three bomb hits or one critical torpedo hit necessary to sink her.

Destroyers

HMAS Vampire, IJN Hatsuzuki, IJN Hatsushimo

Fast moving ships to protect main force from submarine attacks. Armed with some 4-5" guns that give a chance for a Flak Barrage.  Hardened costruction gives them a special protection against level bombers. At least two bomb hits or one torpedo hit necessary to sink her.

Cruisers

USS Indianapolis, IJN Chikuma

The eyes of main naval force due to the presence of recce aircrafts on the board; hardened construction give advantage to bombing runs when armored boards protect against straffing attacks. Due to the presence of medium caliber guns (4-5") the flak barrage effect is available. At least three bomb hits or one critical torpedo hit necessary to sink her.

Battleship

USS Arizona, IJN Hiei

The core of main naval force; hardened construction gives advantage to bombing runs when well armored board protects against any straffing attack. Due to the presence of many medium caliber guns (4-5") the deadly flak barrage effect is available. At least four bomb hits or two torpedo hits necessary to sink her.

Aircraft carrier

USS Enterprise, IJN Zuikaku

The floating airfields absolutely vital to conduct air operations over wide ocean. Extremely well armed with anti aircraft guns but vulnerable to any attacks due to the presence of inflamable substances (as aircraft fuel). At least four bomb hits or two torpedo hits necessary to sink her.
