Subs at 200 pointsI like to play subs as the allies, your subs face much less capable ASW units that way. So here's a US sub fleet for your approval.
Alaska
Princeton
4xPT Boat (or leave them out and add another barb and a hellcat)
Hellcat
2xWildcat
4xBarb
4xArcherfish

I've always regarded US subs, in this game, as sub-par; but it's true what you said about Axis ASW. It's nice to see someone giving them a chance.
Anyway, subs love having an initiative bonus. I think that I'd drop the Princeton and PT Boats for the Enterprise and a 5th Archerfish. This will help you line up your torpedo shots better, and it keeps all 3 of your fighters flying every turn.
So:
1x USS Alaska (28)
1x USS Enterprise (25)
1x F6F Hellcat (10)
2x F4F Wildcat (14)
4x USS Barbs (48)
5x USS Archerfish (75)
(200)

That's a possibility. You're right that init is important, though it almost would pain me to bring Enterprise w/out a Dauntless. I'll think some more.
