RE: More Fighter questions

Just to jump in here, getting caught with their fighters on 
deck is exactly what cost the Japanese navy a few carriers 
at Midway. All that fuel and ammo sitting on the deck 
certainly didn't protect the ship.

This is just off the top of my head, but maybe the fighters 
could be something like "available targets," in that if a 
carrier is caught with exposed fighters, a mini-threshold 
check is made for each hit to the ship. On a 6 (or 5-6), a 
fighter is also hit, destroying the fighter and doing some 
extra damage to the carrier itself.
