Taking some Wildcats instead of Sea Hurricanes, or even Hellcats is also a good idea. If you go with the build as is....you're going to lose the vast majority of your striking power very early on....Devastators and Swordfish simply do not live long.  Once they're gone, you're going to have to rely on your single BB and your subs to kill enemy BB's.....and while the Richie is good, she'll get slaughtered by a BB heavy force.  And your ASW will be exceptionally weak as well once your Swordies and Devastators are blown out of the sky. Okie This is my 500pt. US fleet: Simihistorical restrictions ( not more than 160 pt's BB, at lest 4 CA/CL & DD/DE not more than 5 sub's, except for the Italian's who can have up to 10 sub's. ) German's and Italian's may have up to 2 Graf Zeppelin's to bring them more up to par with everyone. To cut down on the cheese.Under these rule's I've found that all nation's have an equal chance.
