Assume no issues involving fighters landing. After launching its aircraft, can a carrier move into battle to absorb hits even though the carrier has no attack value? Thanks for your help.

The bummer is a damaged carrier can’t land planes.

@marshmallowofwar

Much appreciated. So then naval bombardment does count towards a combat move

You only need to move the carriers there if you have to land planes on them.

In order to move the planes into combat you first must show your opponent that you can make a legal landing spot with your carriers by moving them into position on non-combat movement phase. If the planes survive combat you must move the carrier(s) to land the plane(s). If the planes don’t survive you can choose to do whatever you want with the carrier(s).

That happened in the actual war at one point, intentionally rather than because the CV was sunk I mean. USS Enterprise had a broken (front?) elevator and couldn’t land planes rapidly enough so they landed on Henderson Field in the Solomons campaign.

@Gargantua:

If your sub fails, and the other sub survives you must retreat.

Even if the attacking sub doesn’t sink the enemy’s sub, the transports can still do debarkment.
It needs only that the other sub submerge.

The only way that a plane can be stuck on a carrier is if it goes into battle as cargo on an ally’s carrier (attacking only) and the carrier becomes damaged in the battle.

Planes always being in the air is realistic because planes fly patrols all the time, looking for the enemy.

Using a friendly power's transport to make a combat move. I need confirmation.

@calvinhobbesliker:

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

even durind an amphibious assault?

Yes. Planes can always retreat. The only things that can’t are units which came via transports

But to add:

If the amphibious assault is called off during the naval battle before the units on the transports disembark, any planes (and land units attacking from other territories) that commited to that fight still have to go through one round of combat before they can retreat.
