Carriers aren't just about torpedo attacks, believe it or not. Load them up with red planes and they can easily do more damage during the shelling phase than BBs. And red planes don't get shot down as easily so that's less bauxite consumption. Really, my typical loadout is 1 gree, 1 blue, and 2 red per carrier. And with a group of carriers like that they can still take out the small fry, plus do heavy damage in the shelling phase. Some people act like it's blue or nothing, but I can't help but feel that they don't really understand the right way to use carriers...

I think I spent like 100-150 bauxite per sortie doing E-3 with three carriers. Compared to my fuel, ammo, and steel (from repairs) expenditures that's nothing...
