I was thinking this was going to be local only. That's a significant difference as local would not always have triggered. Anywhere means an automatic three points when this first happens. That is pushing the cost again for me now. 7 with local seemed acceptable but with anywhere, I think 8 is more realistic.
I'm glad I double checked that as air rescue is stronger than plane guard. The posts on this have jumped back and forward quoting both of them abilities at different times.

After spending the opening months of the war as a carrier escort to Lexington & Enterprise, Drayton was redeployed later in '42 to the Solomons campaign. During the battle of Tassafaronga, she was part of the Destroyer force leading the US fleet and involved in the opening exchanges of fire. Later she helped rescue the survivors of the sunken Northampton. Drayton mainly remained in the south pacific for the rest of the war, present at many of the offensive landings. She was nicknamed the "Blue Beetle" for uniquely sporting a blue overall color scheme and earned 11 battle stars.
Don't know if it's too long.
The rescue SA could have been for Northampton in hindsight and not air related but hey ho. Interesting looking at the crossover here with Oyashio too, as she was a main cause and effect on the US cruisers in this battle.
