USS Hancock *DONE*

We have our own forum for it.

We need some flavor text for this one. Any takers?

Thanks!

How about this revision?

Joining the Fast Carrier task force in October 1944, USS Hancock sent her air groups against targets in the Ryūkyūs Island, Formosa (now Taiwan), and the Philippines. After attacking the retreating Japanese fleet during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Hancock became the flagship of Task Force 38.1 under Admiral McCain. The carrier weathered a typhoon and a kamikaze hit while conducting air attacks in the South China Sea. Her air groups provided close air support during the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa and attacked strategic targets on the mainland of Japan until the Japanese surrender.

Consolidating to make the card.

No class limits

Just to tickle, it seems to me that the US hull numbering code includes a dash between hull type and number (CV-19)
I'm afraid this kind of typo already exists on previous cards.

I think it's Ryukyu islands, or Rykyus: the card has "Ryukyus island"
