How competing missions jam a carrier deck

In the scenario, a submarine threat arrives while the carrier is assembling a strike, forcing the team to redirect torpedo bombers and reshuffle the deck plan. The order in which aircraft are spotted blocks later launches, and confusion over aircraft symbols then brings up dive bombers when torpedo bombers are needed. Their repeated regret at leaving the Fletcher-class screen behind makes escort protection part of the same command problem. They joke that changing orders with aircraft exposed resembles poor wartime command practice and invoke HMS Glorious as an extreme warning of a carrier caught unready. These historical comparisons frame a simulated command problem rather than reconstructing Japanese doctrine or the loss of Glorious.
