天皇上任以来一直关注莫港的机场修建情况，多次不惜代价水面舰炮轰和飞机炸，阻止莫港修到5级，没想到盟军竟然巧妙的利用了澳洲大陆的cooktown机场，今日突袭拉宝儿， 好在有大量Zero阻挡，未造成太大损失，但从此拉宝儿将永无宁日。。. ^5 R. Y: G- T7 k

从9月初CV大黄蜂赶到战场以来，日军一直将KB隐藏在茫茫大海深处。一个月间盟军出动大量水面舰队对瓜岛进行炮击骚扰，KB一直隐忍不出。7 s) l5 f4 d8 K7 P; w) [. s. a
指导9月下旬，双方力量对比发生了变化，萨拉托加号再被SS命中一雷，只有企业和大黄蜂号可以作战，日军方面则有瑞凤号轻空母抵达，此消彼长，此时天皇认为有较大把握KB可以战胜58。KB于是开始向瓜岛方向机动。; |: m$ y6 k7 U+ l; a6 }

3 p' w. Q0 c. g# l9 b8 B1 t1 T' B由于十天后凖鹰号CV还将抵达，天皇原本计划先利用10天的时间杀伤瓜岛方向的盟军水面舰队，而后与凖鹰合并后再突击58。此时发生了预想不到的情况，盟军2CV的58突然也向瓜岛方向靠近，天皇认为这是一个杀伤58的大好机会，因此毅然决定突击。$ k8 `8 i& K/ @
盟军并未侦察到KB，因此有部分SBD设置的还是反潜，对日军来说这是一个极好的机会。但接下来的战斗让天皇大跌眼镜：( p1 B; ]6 p3 _/ O, a. g

盟军舰载机数量明显少于日军，CAP战斗机仅28架，攻击机群顺利突防，但58上空雷雨大作，突击效果极其有限，25架鱼雷机无一命中，仅命中企业号3蛋，中创：

原计划KB仅是来攻击盟军水面舰队，没有考虑对58作战，因此KB编队中只带有金刚、臻名两艘BB护航，非常不足，此时出现瑞鹤负伤的状况，对日军造成了严重的问题，当日被盟军水面舰连抓两次，虽然未能攻击到CV，但是CV队的机动规避、损管不力导致瑞鹤号重伤起火。最重要的是KB向北退却，远离了58，丧失了一次宝贵的扩大战果的机会

双方各损失舰载机100余架。日军在极大优势下基本达成平手，主要败笔在于水面舰队力量不足

结局：
' m( b7 H3 X0 G5 F. c在盟军丧失制空权的情况下，10月底日军发起了对莫尔斯比港的进攻，但KB攻击机消耗过多，攻击力不足，盟军水面战很强力，鏖战一周左右，双方损失惨重，绝大部分舰船都带伤，日军虽在莫港投放了800战力，但面对4级城防难以攻克，水面力量的缺失使得封锁莫港成为不可能，双方僵持不下，协商停战，握手言和
